This poem is dedicated to the Canadian war heros who lost their lives in Afghanistan.

Along the highway of heroes a soldier takes their last ride
A Nation looks on with both sorrow and pride.
In flag draped coffins they travel this long lonely route
As we bow our heads and give a final salute
They gave for our freedom and ask not for one thing, but remember with love
in our anthem we sing.

To their loving families we feel their great pain but with a nations pride they know their loss was not in vain.
As another wreath is placed on Remembrance Day, we will never forget the price they did pay.
For these selfless souls another candle we light with a tear in our eyes for our freedom they fight.
Along the highway of heroes a soldier takes their last ride as we praise them and cheer them with both sorrow and pride.
