Stories told, stories shared
Remembering Great Pop forever
As a brave boy who was scared

Paper bound in green leather
Written in lead between pages
Banded with a stretched elastic
Generations it engages

Remembering Great Pop forever
As a brave boy who was scared

Across the sea to Egypt
Precious to our whole family
Passed down to his great granddaughter
Remembering happily

Anzac Day 1916
The tunnels they dug were not measured
In the war they stood, a minute silence
Those who died they remembered

Every day he worked
Pellets of bullets shot the sky
Horses and tents he assembled
In the heat of Egypt, they fry

On December 25th,
Christmas Day had no parade
“Dull windy day”, he recorded
Experiences, they prayed
