It’s with a humble and most grateful heart that I’d like to share the poem LEST WE FORGET. May we collectively honour all past and present serving members and respectfully show our profound gratitude for their service and sacrifice. ♥
I’d be most grateful for your support in sharing this message far and wide. May we all unite to honour and support all those who’ve sacrificed so much for the freedoms we hold dear.
LEST WE FORGET
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.

Many thanks for stopping by today and supporting all past and present serving members who sacrifice(d) so much. Hugs to all. ♥
As a multi-passionate creator my heart is rooted in storytelling, self-expression, and soulful connection. I’m a writer of poetry that journeys the deep emotional landscapes of life—the vulnerability and valour of the soul. Nature is my sanctuary. In its tranquil beauty and quiet wisdom, I find restoration, reflection, and a deeper connection to the soul. It’s where I return to breathe, to listen, and to simply be. 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!

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.
