Together We Stand ©Janet Kvammen 2012 Today in solidarity we shall stand Side by side upon this November morn On behalf of those ne’er to return from foreign land For the wounded, weary and battle worn. We stand for the freedom we hold dear With hearts open wide, united as one In deep gratitude for valour despite fear For anguish overcome, wars fought and won. We stand for those burdened by a heavy load Beset by dark shadows, slow to fade Invisible scars stain a long desolate road In remembrance of all, wreaths will be laid. The Last Post signals the fighting is over, duty done The chill air imbued with the bugler’s haunting lament O Canada’s sons and daughters, each a loved one A collective dream for world peace, heaven sent. November 11, we stand in silence to reflect Upon our veteran’s sacrifice, for evermore Lest we forget; with honour and respect To the Unknown Soldier, fallen in war.
