Last Words - Memoriam

To those I hold dear

If I do not return

Remember with pride

This life we have shared

As bullets sweetly sing

A hymn of sacrifice

Take strength — victory is mine

I am with you

Until the end of time

As whistles blow

No turning back

Bayonets fixed

Primed for attack

Out from the trench

Over the top

Machine gun burst

No time to stop

Have courage my love

Look to stars above

Tell the children I am there

Watching them everywhere

Your tears are falling

Destiny calling

I am prepared

This eulogy declared

Last words

In no mans land

Across the wire

Adrenaline flows

Senses on fire

Into the breach

No final warning

Face in the mud

Reaper now calling

As I face the end

My heart to you I send

Home fire still burning

Your world keeps turning

I bid you farewell

These are my last words…
