A Prayer for <strong>Remembrance</strong><br />
Remember Ypres, Gallipoli, the Somme,<br />
Mons and Verdun. Remember the Western<br />
Desert, El Alamein, the<br />
Normandy beaches. Remember Coventry,<br />
Dresden, Hiroshima and the Burma Road.<br />
Remember Korea, the<br />
Falkland Islands, Northern Ireland, the<br />
Balkans, East Timor, Afghanistan and the<br />
Gulf.<br />
Remember the courage, the comradeship,<br />
the ingenuity, the spirit of working together<br />
for a common cause,<br />
the planning together for a better world that<br />
would come with peace.<br />
Remember the call to arms, the patriotic<br />
songs, the partings which were such sweet<br />
sorrow. <strong>The</strong> sound of the<br />
drum, the skirl of the pipe, the prayer that<br />
God would be on our side.<br />
Remember the carnage; the colossal horror<br />
of war. Remember the widows of sixty years<br />
and more, the old<br />
men and women who never knew their<br />
fathers.<br />
Remember the love that was lost, the wisdom<br />
wasted, the<br />
minds that are still pained by memories.<br />
Remember the families bereft by recent wars<br />
and conflict.<br />
Remember this day the children who will die<br />
while nation fights nation. Remember the<br />
One who asked us to<br />
remember them.<br />
Father, remember us; and forgive us our sins<br />
against you and our fellow man.<br />
Let us remember before God those who<br />
have died for their country in war; those<br />
whom we knew, and whose<br />
memory we treasure; and all who have lived<br />
and died in the service of mankind.<br />
<strong>The</strong>y shall grow not old as we that are left<br />
grow old:<br />
Age shall not weary them, nor the years<br />
condemn.<br />
At the going down of the sun and in the<br />
morning<br />
We will remember them.<br />
