LEST WE FORGET

Lest We Forget ~ A tribute and a prayer by Natalie Ducey

LEST WE FORGET

They answered the call
With mighty hearts, they took a stand
In the pursuit of liberty
They died on foreign land.

Those that made it home
Carry a burden within their soul
More years behind them now
Yet stories remain untold.

We may never understand it
Few hearts can comprehend
The courage one must possess
To rise and take a stand.

So I ask of you this
Dear friends and family
How will you remember
This most earnest legacy?

Will you bow your head in silence?
Offer a silent prayer?
Let’s honour all they’ve sacrificed
For the freedoms we hold dear.

As a multi-passionate creator my heart is rooted in storytelling, self-expression, and soulful connection. This space is a celebration of creativity in all its forms. Creativity, for me, is more than expression—it is transformation. It is how we return to ourselves. Whether you’ve arrived here for a spark of inspiration, a moment of peace, or a sense of belonging—I welcome you!

  9. Natalie, a moving poem in honour of all those who helped to fight “For the freedoms we hold dear”. Something we take so for granted should be recognised for the sacrifices,remembered for the ultimate price they paid so we can live in freedom.

    • Thank you, Annika. This piece is very near and dear to my heart. My hubby retired this year after 37 years of service. I’m so proud of him and honoured to have been by his side for the last 19 years.
      My apologies for such a delayed response. I just discovered so many comments in my spam folder. Yikes!
      Warmest wishes for a lovely evening. 🙂
