Don't Cry For Me My Dear Ol' Friends Poem by Dipy Hermonite

Don't cry for me my dear ol' friends,
All clocks they stop their time,
Last night they stopped for someone else,
Today the call was mine.

I've lived a life so full and free,
With friends in Olive Green,
We've played, we've battled, we've partied hard,
The best of times we've seen.

What can you say is better than,
Leading the best of men,
Who'll follow you, sometimes in death,
Lie with you in the glen.

But then my friends ne'er do forget,
That we are humans too,
At times mistakes we may have made,
Intent howe'er was true.

Ask me today if I do hold,
Regrets in life today?
I'll miss my friends in uniform,
And that's the price I'll pay.

Don't cry for me my dear ol' friends,
All clocks they stop their time,
Last night they stopped for someone else,
Today the call was mine
