Trees Trees Trees

Trees trees trees,
Blowing in the breeze,
Names by the side,
For other people’s guide.

Yes, yes, yes they stand there together
For someone to see for ever and ever
Remember, remember those who died
Just keep on going but keep them in mind.

Yes, They Died For Us.

Yes, they died for us,
They served our country,
They battled away,
While children, moms, dads had fun.

We still remember all those who served our country today,
They believed in us,
And we believed in them.

60,000 Names

Have you seen all the names on the wall?

Of all those people who lost their lives,

Serving and fighting for our country?

 
Big statues up against the wall,

Of people being carried off,

Who have just died,

Who weren’t allowed to run and hide.

 
Being held hostage,

Catching diseases and completely starved,

Lying there all day, knowing they’ll die,

Let’s remember them, today, tomorrow, forever.

National Memorial Arboretum

Is it good?
Or is it bad?

Does it make you really sad?
Does it make you happy?

Or does it make you forget      forever?

Do you ignore it?
Do you support it?

The Memory Wall

It stands there holding names,
War is not a game.

It stands there to show people,
That war is lethal.

They died serving their country,
They made us very proud,

We will remember them fondly.
Just think and then bow down.

My War Poem.

Trees, trees, trees, blowing in the breeze,
Names by the side
Fill us with pride.

Yes, yes they stand there
Together, for someone to see
Forever and ever.
Remember, Remember
Those who just keep on going.
Keep them in mind.

The Sleeping Baby

The tear of a mother weeping over her stillborn baby,
She will never be the same because of her dead baby,
She never saw the smile on her baby’s face….

She only saw its small fragile body; limp and cold.
She will never be the same because of her stillborn baby,

Cherished in her heart forever never to be forgotten,

Her little still born baby.

My poem

Hundreds even thousands of people died for us to save our country,
I will remember them.

Hundreds of babies died before or after birth, I will remember them.
I will remember them. Will you?

War

They could run,
Away from the enemy’s gun,
But they may never see the sun again.
Taking back that old country lane,
Causing relatives great amounts of pain.
Rat-tat-tat of machine gun fire,
Many war wounds are dire,
Survivors live to tell a tale,
Fighting on through snow and hail,
Mud and dirt everywhere,
It must have given them quite a scare.
We remember them.

Why did it have to be a bear?

You know, that one over there.
Did it have to eat honey
And little helpless bunnies?
And live in a wet dingy lair?

 

What’s up with that eagle?
Why couldn’t it be a beagle?
If not a dog,
Then a cat or a frog,
Or you could even have a seagull.

The Rose War

I just like roses
I like the colours
There’s black, red and purple.
Now every time I see roses,
They remind me of all the lives,
That have been lost in war.

By Jacob Bennett H7

Why should they die?

41 steps I take to enter the memorial,
But that is only a miniscule percent of the number of names
On the memorial walls.

Blank spaces for names to fill,
But we can hope it doesn’t get filled,
Because that would mean people would die,
Why can’t we call war a tie?

Because so many countries just won’t comply,
And all that help we try and supply,
Is running out, why can’t we call it a tie?

Because if it carries on more families will cry.
So why should more people die?

White Lady

She sits there so proud and brave
How many people has she helped save?
She sacrificed her life for ours
Her statue stands surrounded by flowers.
For three whole years she fought
For the victory that England sought
She stands alone
From helping defend the English throne...

THE BEAR OVER THERE

Have you got an animal in your head?
Cause I have.
It’s big,
Its fat,
It’s brown,
It’s on the big stone,
It’s right over there, the bear,
But what does it tell us?
The war,
Remember people!

The White Woman

Sitting there tall and proud,
Wearing her uniform with pride,
She is all alone,
Think of the battles she has seen,
From 1939 to 1942,
The White Woman,
All on her own.

Memorial Wall

Many people dead
On the memorial wall
They all go to shreds
Capacity starts to fall

Losing their lives
Since the horrific war
Killed with bullets and knives
Down go more and more

The Names On The Wall.

The Names On The Wall,
There Are So Many Of Them,
People Who Fought For Us,
People Who Died For Us,
We Have Two Minutes Silence,
To Never Forget What They Did For Us,

We Will Remember Them.
