Lest We Forget

                                                        A MAN AT THE CENOTAPH

He comes here often, not just once a year,

to honour those whose names are,

and those whose names are yet to be written

on the stone erected there.

And as he stands with head bowed low, 

he seems to hear a bugle start to blow,

its notes ringing clear upon the air, 

       and when he looks, there's no one there.     

 Then he bows his head in silent prayer

    and perhaps he sheds a silent tear,

                                                        He remembers them.
