Gallipoli’s Blood

Not too long ago there was but one
But his time was short and now there are none
No more than boys they went off to war
Such horror endured on that foreign shore

ANZAC Legend born from Gallipoli’s blood
Those reluctant heroes, no respite from above
They gave their all, their hearts, their soul
But those left behind would never grow old

The legacy remains for those of today
Their memory revered as we make our way
The spirit they gave can’t be explained
It is who we are, in our souls ingrained

And still now they go to take up the fight
Stand proud and tall in the belief of right
Our Sons and Daughters, the future they see
And they’ll carry the spirit, of Gallipoli

What are you my god? You touch me like you are my god
What are you my twin? You affect me like you are my twin.

The way you move me
I walk with your shadow
With your silhouette
Leave the light on
It always comes
Back to you

The sad thing is we shouldnt need to be reminded that our young miltary men and women put their lives on the line each and every day so that we can sit in front of our computers and compose poetry about them. Thanks Eddie
