Sea of Red – Jake Roberts Y10


                                 The red represents the blood of the fallen
                                   Those who gave their life, soul and all
                                We remember those whose bravery stood
                                             But bodies came to fall



                                 The Nation falls silent in respect and love
                                     For two minutes we stand together
                                       No matter how the world stands
                                   We will always stand together, forever


                                     On the field that lay bodies of those
                                              Who aided us to a win
                                 They fought until they could go no longer
                                     Even with their future seeming dim



                                They gave up their today for our tomorrow
                                   For our beginning they came to an end
                                    If only we could thank those who left
                                        If only we could make amends


                          On the eleventh month, eleventh day, eleventh hour

                                         The Nation stands with pride
                                  We listen to the sound of the Last Post
                                          And it’s our fear that we hide


                                           Our troops left with no idea
                              If they would come back alive or end up dead
                            We could never have predicted, in years to come
                                              We’d find a Sea of Red.
