Remembrance Day


Remembrance Day
Respect those who fell for our freedom
Everlasting unconditional love and you didn’t even know us
Memories we share forever, ones we did not make; yet kept in our hearts
Even if we didn’t meet you, we know you are brave because:
Maybe – given a chance, we wouldn’t have the courage you had; couldn’t, wouldn’t do what you have accomplished
Brace yourselves for the resurrection of reoccurring nightmares, for the horrors that you have seen that I could not stand
Remember for as long as there is; we live the way we do because of you
Admire the heroes, lost or not, they served our country
Never forget about the compassion and strength you had when you fought, not many have that
Canada will never be the same; you have shaped us, for you we are strong - yet not fearless, strong enough to protect the ones we love
Eternal gratitude for giving your today for our tomorrow

Despite the lack of knowledge of what we will become, what the future holds; you loved us
And wherever you are now; you are not forgotten, you are thought of often and don’t doubt
You are loved too.

Bloggers Note:
I received this poem from a co-worker whom was very proud of her daughter. I have to admit for a 13 year old child, this is very impressive and touching. I had to share this with the world, to let you all know that there is still hope for the younger generation. There are times that I worry about the world that is being left behind for those children but when I read things like this, it touching and I worry a lot less.
Remembrance Day, appreciate and love those in the past that have fought for our freedom, respect and honor them for they have given their lives so that we could have a free country. We have a free country, do not take it for granted.
Have a good day.
