In real life We can't rewind We can't fast forward But we can pause Breathe Reflect Imagine never knowing what to expect, Or when you'll next see your relatives again. Imagine feeling uprooted, uncertain, unstable, Longing to sit with your loved ones at the dinner table No promise of a return to normal Imagine these fears lasting for years This is life For those on the frontline Not just back then. It's happening today. Their sacrifices help to keep us all safe So that's why we pause. And say... Thank you. This November We'll stand together Like we do every year. A chorus of thunderous silence Two minutes to remind us Of those who look fear in the eye And say No. I choose hope A soft song that grows Listen carefully, Can you hear it inside your home? A quiet belief in something better It brings us together It lives in the hearts of those who serve On testing sites And posts overseas In every message and picture sent to families The hope for a better future Let's take just two minutes to pause, And remember.
