Twelve Soldiers (LilyVickers3)

Twelve Soldiers

Twelve guns are abandoned

When the battle is done

For soldiers whose names

Will be forgotten

For soldiers whose deeds

will not be remembered.

For soldiers who have fallen,

And will not be remembered.

Twelve families mourn

When the battle is done

For soldiers whose names

They will forget.

For soldiers whose deeds

They will forget

For soldiers who have fallen

And will not be remembered.

Twelve crosses have stood alone

Since the battle was done.

For soldiers who's names

Are long forgotten.

For soldiers whose deeds

Are no longer remembered

For fallen soldiers

Who have been forgotten

Many people are alive

Now that the battle is done

Because of soldiers whose names

Were lost

Because of soldiers whose deeds

Were forgotten

Because of fallen soldiers

Who sacrificed to save others.

And have been repayed by being lost to memory.
