Lest we forget

A couple of special poems to bring the meaning of today into focus.  I have been saddened to read on a social network words of disrespect for our fallen HERO'S, two of which I claim as relatives

Ode to Rememberence

They went with songs to the battle, they were young.

Straight of limb, true of eyes, steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,

They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.
