Local resident pens poem of Remembrance

Note: The following poem of Remembrance was submitted to the North Wellington Community News by Dennis Bridle of Mount Forest.

We remember them

To those who answered the call to duty| When their country called upon them To join up and serve, our freedom to preserve We remember them.

They gladly traveled to foreign lands Into harm’s way they went To deliver a blow, that would vanquish the foe Of this, they would never relent.

We are a grateful nation Of this there is no doubt We’re thankful they served, our nation preserved We remember them.

To those who made it safely home Into the arms of loved ones Have nary a fear, for they’d quickly volunteer Once again, to take up their weapons.

To those who did not make it home Who paid the ultimate price Our gratitude won’t cease, may they ever rest in peace We remember them.
