DEDICATIONS
The Last Commando
By Andrea Selina Poblete
Into battle they do fly
Across the stormy seas and sky
Silencing sounds of battling guns
Through the fire our sons do run
Travelling across a treacherous land
Not all will fall, not all will stand
The sounds of fallen soldiers roar
But those, indeed, are the tales of war
A final stand, but he yet fell
He knew his options all too well
He was a leader; fearless and brave
To save all others, his life, he gave
Courageous, gallant and noble was he
And through his actions we truly can see
As a Son, a Brother, and as a Friend too
As The Last Commando; we will remember you
His spirit remains, though He is gone
Through us all, his kindness carries on
A "fearless warrior", a "gentle man"
A soldier, a hero, and nothing less than
So day after day, he'll stay by our side
His courage and compassion being our guide
Different worlds, we may live, but not far apart
His lessons and essence live on in our hearts
For his friends, fellow soldiers, He did die
And those, back at home, for Him, will cry
But know now this, his battle's done
Remember him as brave and young
Escaping to a better land
He may fall but his name will stand
In our lives His story is shared
Through this tale of Corporate Cameron Baird
