Lest We Forget

To Our Glorious Dead

Plaque

Sawtell Memorial Park

We mourn them here

Our dreaming dead.

In this quiet hallowed place

To heroes dedicate.

As once they loved all this

Warm sands - Sea breeze

Tall trees and distant hills.

The magpies glory in the early morn

We chose this spot.

We took our memories and placed them here.

And planted trees, like memories, evergreen

To thrive and grow.

More cherished than the years.

Speak quietly here - tread soft.

The men who loved these sands dream on

The blessed peace for which they fought is theirs

In this tree-ringed, green, lovely spot.
