I have no words
No words to describe
No words to praise
How you lived and died
All the sacrifices made
How you bled in the dirt
Watched friends fall
How you ignored the hurt
To answer the call
I have no words that can explain
How you chose to give
Every moment, again and again
You gave, so others could live
I have no words
No acts
No speeches
No songs
Only silence to honour the soldiers who are gone.
– Jeff Bont, Maple Ridge
