Sing a song

Sing a song today,
A song about courage and sacrifice.

Sing a song today,
A song for those, whose bravery has gone unsung,
A song for those, who in their silent defiance,
Brought courage to mighty warriors.

Sing a song today,
A song for women, whose courage has gone unspoken, 
A song for mothers, whose benevolent prayers,
Kept their children safe.

Sing a song today,
A song for those nameless soldiers, who brought us freedom,                                     
A song for rebels, who sparked the flame,
Which grew in an inferno.

Sing a song today,
A song to chastise who belittle the sacrifice of our warriors,
A song to remind those who have forgotten,
That death is not an escapade for those who face it.

Sing a song today,
A song about courage and sacrifice.
