agburns84 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 A poem dedicated to my fellow Australians who lost their lives in the bushfire disaster over the weekend in the state of Victoria, as we continue to pray for those who's lives were affected by the tragedy. THEY SHALL BE HEROES Akin to those who courageously die in battle, You will not be forgotten, As the flames slowly diminish, we are thinking of you, Etched in our hearts your memories shall remain true. While today you are grieving, For the lives and homes that were cruelly taken away, We won't forget your passionate strength and will to fight, For as this day ends we shall battle on together into the night. When morning comes, we will be by their side, As step by step we focus on the road of recovery ahead, As time moves on, homes shall be rebuilt and lives put to mend, While we pray that one day their minds will ease and pain will end. As this nation continues to hold its breath, United as one in the midst of the tragedy of death, We salute those who continue their struggle in pain, For those who perished, let us realise that their lives were not lost in vain.
