Flowers

Tony36

Flowers grow upon the lground

Where the brave have laid their lives ddown 

Blood was spilt from their veins

For freedom's fight they take the pain

They fight for freedom both day and night

They will not give up the fight

 

Flowers now grow upon their graves

For the lives they gave

They gave their lives so bravely 

So that others may be free

Let us not forget

The choice they made 

Upon that faithful day

When their country called 

They did give their all

 

Silently they now lay

While flowers grow upon their graves
