memory’s of the past as the lights grow dim
coming to the end of the old year
as new rushes in
moments of the present will soon be the past
as life is moving and moving fast
things we did only yesterday
will soon be far faraway
a thought a dream a moment
a place in our heart as part of the human race
has ceased and is no more
but a distant memory
of time which has passed into our subconscious
and deep into history
locked away forever to never come back again
as the old year passes and new year rushes in

From the rising of civilization on the beginnings of this earth
wars have ravaged across lands and sea
warriors have led many an army
since time began on this land
we have stood struggled armour in hand
to defend what is right in our own mother lands
but we have forgotten the truth and not faced reality
we are but one in many colour and creed
who once left distant pastures and turf
and travelled across continent and sea
to form what is now a world
full of different cultures in many countries
who once came down from the trees
and lived very primitively.

By heavens light they sail away
through Portsmouth’s entrance
across the sea
many sailors have sailed in once
our great navy
from time of Nelson’s great navy
Copenhagen,Ashanti , Nile and Trafalgar
to the home of britain royal navy
is where they sail from Portsmouth
a city full of fine magnificent history
from great first and second world wars
right back to king henry viii and the Elizabethans
the pride of Portsmouth is known for being mighty
in modern times Falklands , gulf and my others times
Portsmouth has had its part to play in history
Field Marshall Montgomery
even enjoyed his football and watched our local team play
before and many great women and men of our services
left to fight on french beaches at d day
by heavens light did they sail away
stars guiding them to war and home
again with pride they were guarded by
our many ships of the great
Royal navy
Portsmouth the home of our proud Royal Navy

The boots come out and shoes will shine
people gather and await patiently
poppy are pinned to clothes for all to see
the veterans get ready and stand at ease
awaiting the order to march forward for all to see
they wear the badges and beret and medals too
with pride and honour the 11th hour is due
they assemble across the world in many great cities
to remember those who went before them and sacrificed they lives
in the name of king and queen and country
and those who have given service since the world wars
and many conflicts of today we remember them
as we march forward on this armistice day
don’t forget us when you go home
as we will always be here resting in fields and country’s so far away
we went in hope and peace and gave our lives so mercifully
for you back there so you could live in a peaceful world today
for this we honour and remember you on this remembrance day
as the last post sounds from the bugles played
comrades and veterans and family’s to children and parents
will remember loved ones too who gave so much with such pride courage and bravery for me and you
as they gave there lives for us today in far-flung fields and country’s so far away
we stand to attention and salute you the fallen the brave and the veterans too
you will be in our hearts always and in our memory’s today and forever may you rest in peace and tranquility.
a minutes silence in your memory.
from Kevin Newman ex R.A.F

I am deeply saddened by what i have seen
on tenth anniversary of 9/11
as people gathered and showed their respect
whilst shedding tears in memory
of those innocent lives that were taken cruelly
a cruel and unforgiving group of muslims
marched in london faces covered up and disguised too
yesterday saying world domination muslim rule
burning the flag of usa on this anniversary of this very sad day
how callous and cruel cowereds can these people be
if they have to hide their faces away
obvious they have no morals
and shouldnt be part of humanity
as i listened to the news a young boy in New York stood up on a podium and said
i never knew my father and i never met him
i knew he loved me and i will always love him
these words made me shed a tear
this brave young boy who had stood there
and opened up his heart for the whole world to see
how much he cared for a father he had never seen
well to all those who lost people on this day
i do have these words to say
Those who you lost so cruelly
will always be part of your love and memory
they wont forget the times you shared
and all the moments that you loved and cared
these moments so precious to you
will help you to grieve and remember them too
the smiles the laughter you had each day
the hugs and kisses and all the birthdays
the joyous moments when birth came to
proud times you had are all special to you
remember these as they remember you
and your heart will be happy
with beautiful thoughts too
god bless you all on this special day
and may your life soon be full of joy
and happy again
To all those in the world today who lost loved ones on that special day
from Kevin in Hampshire uk these words are my personal tribute to you.
they were all heroes and so are you and to all those who have given their lives in Afghanistan to fighting the war on terrorism

Many years ago we had communism dictatorship s and east west split
but all the time it happening we had world peace and harmony
apart from cuban missile crisis which nearly blew a big fuse
for many year we went about our work each day
main players in life we knew were Russia and Nato and usa
people had jobs and many had homes too
and food it may not have be brilliant
but we knew where we stood in life
and in world order too
then one evening in 1989
in Germany something was about to change
people started gathering at Berlin
on each side of the great wall
people started chipping away
wall started crumbling and falling away
people climbed over and celebration
did begin .
what they thought was a start of freedom
was in fact the beginning of world we have today
disorder and disarray, greed, terrorism
and world disorder too
as since this day happened many years ago
world order has crumbled and started to fade away
people struggle more now to survive
get homes work and food to eat too
terrorism is rife with breakaway republic and country’s
causing such disarray
in world we live today
gone is that past its history
but just for a
brief moment in time we had world peace and harmony.

Many people were gathered working this day
ten years ago in Manhattans twin towers
all were special and human too
many like you and me had families
and loved ones who share their lives
and young children too
so many diverse cultures
worked in pure harmony
gracing each of the many floors
high up their in the twin towers
of Manhattan looking down on you
one moment you were there
the next you were taken
so quickly
you could even say good-by
to those who you loved
and cherished your families
as evil took you away
your life so awfully
we wont forget you part you played
in history
you memories will live on
with your families
and those who knew you too
work colleagues friends
and world too
the people of twin towers
we will always remember you
