Take a minute to pay respect
to a soldier you'll never know,
Take a minute to think about
his grave where the poppies grow
Take a minute to walk a mile
in his boots that marched to war
the fresh face of the young and brave,
forever changed by what he saw.
Take a minute of reflection
as the haunting bugle plays
and the 'Last Post' calls him home,
think of the day he never came.
Take a minute to appreciate
the sacrifice of his mates.
In the morning,
and at the going down of the sun,
we remember them on ANZAC Day.
Lest we forget
-sunburnt poet
