    Well done young man. Very well done.

    One Thousand Men Are Walking

    By Joshua Dyer


    One thousand men are walking

    Walking side by side

    Singing songs from home

    The spirit as their guide

    they walk toward the light milord

    they walk towards the sun

    they smoke and laugh and smile together

    no foes to outrun

    these men live on forever

    in the hearts of those they saved

    a nation truly grateful

    for the path of peace they paved

    they march as friends and comrades

    but they do not march for war

    step closer to salvation

    a tranquil steady corps

    the meadows lit with golden beams

    a beacon for the brave

    the emerald grass untrampled

    a reward for what they gave

    they dream of those they left behind

    and know they dream of them

    forever in those poppy fields

    there walks one thousand men
