Lest We Forget

Lest we forget the sacrifice, The tireless nights, the heavy price. The whispered prayers in darkest hours, The strength that blooms like stubborn flowers. The effort poured, the endless fight, The tears that fell beyond the sight. The struggle carved in every breath, A fight for life, defying death. For freedom’s flame was born in pain, In heart that bore the endless strain. So all may rise, so all may be, Unchained, unbound, forever free. Remember those who paved the way, Who gave their all, who chose to stay. Lest we forget, their courage true, The fight, the tears, the dream anew.
