In Memory Of A Fallen Mate

His name is David (Poppy) Pearce
Our country he did serve,
So now I write this tale for him
Of that he does deserve.

He went to fight against a foe
With mates and men at arms
To make this world a better place,
Protect us from those harms.

The price he paid was ultimate
Of that his family knows,
For now they suffer day to day
From heads down to their toes.

He leaves behind a loving wife
And two small girls as well,
Thats why I damn his killers here
Damn them all to hell.

He is the first man to be killed
From our great land down under,
I somehow think he's not the last
We cannot help but wonder.

I cannot tell his wife and kids
Of how I feel for them,
I wish to ease their suffering
To bring it to an end.

So now I'd like to ask you all
To shed three little tears,
In memory of our fallen mate.
David (Poppy) Pearce.
