Days of Sadness, Heartfelt pain Our Aussie Soldiers killed again And many people in this war Will question “What’s this fighting for?” “We know the lads are good and tough But surely this must be enough! They say “Get rid of all this pain and bring our Soldiers home again”
Days of Sadness, tortured grief Life for these lads was cruelly brief And family’s unspoken fears Are realised in a Vale of tears But hear the words these families say “If our troops must come home today Then that would be the cruellest pain For then our boys have died in vain.”
Days of Sadness, Pain and Pride Our husbands, brothers, Sons have died But we believe their sacrifice Will help to pay our freedom’s price Our Nation’s history tells the tale Of those whose courage didn’t fail Who gave their lives for you and me To free our world from tyranny.
Days of Sadness, deepest sorrows Our boys have given their tomorrows Our Anzac Story tells the cost Of many other young lives lost Who fell with faces to the foe To buy the peace their children know They fought until the job was done The only way that peace is won.
Days of Sadness, pained goodbyes While loved ones mourn a Nation cries The Eulogies will tell the tales Of those whose courage didn’t fail Our courage too we now must show Our fighting lads deserve to know That even though the cost is great We’ll let them fight on for their mates. The poem written by Padre Jim Cosgrove |

They shall grow not old, As we that are left grow old, Age shall not weary them, Nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun, And in the morning We will remember them. Lest We Forget Australian Soldiers in Afghanistan
