THIS WEEK’S WORDS come from “We Are All God’s Poems” by Philip Metres: frozen, bowl, host, breath, scribbled, page, gaze, mouth, what, bear, taut, sings
Sing a song of praise for these men
Generously with love
Scribbled pages they left by then
Gaze up they sang above
Generously giving their lives
Remember their children and wives
Generously give
Generously give
Remember them in our archives
Sing a song of praise for these men
Left frozen in the fields
Their last breath also left in glen
Now bear flowers that yield
What price freedom their legacy
Bravely fighting their enemy
What price freedom
What price freedom
For us mouthing this elegy
Sing a song of praise for these men
With love generously
Thanking them as we say amen
Hosting reverently
Men of courage and of valour
Showing gratitude in our prayer
Men of courage
Men of courage
They’re heroes for all to revere*
