Though the sun grows cold
And the earth welcomes you
We shall no forget your sacrifice
Your bravery, your valour
Will be remembered
Your gentle welcoming smile
Your glowing good nature
Shall not be forgotten
But revered and retained
In the memories and hearts
Of the nation
We will tell stories
In history books of you
The remembrance of
A life taken too soon
A child now without a father
We shall gather you both
To our hearts and minds
For you are our family
Canadian soldier, brave and strong
Our love pours out for you.
