Lest We forget

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing,
fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
John McCrae

Remembering our fallen soldiers.

May we be fortunate enough to live in a world without wars.

  1. Prayer for Remembrance Day
    For those who were killed in battle,
    For those who gave up their lives to save others
    For those who fought because they were forced to,
    For those who died standing up for a just cause
    For those who said war was wrong,
    For those who tried to make the peace
    For those who prayed when others had no time to pray
    For those creatures who needlessly die
    For those trees that needlessly are slaughtered

    For all of mankind
    let us quietly pray

  2. Crimson red flowers with a deep purple center;
    Bullets, bayonets and deep hatred around her,
    The world watched in abject
    surrender
    Would there ever be a tomorrow? for, it lies six feet under.

    To all those fallen men and women, (for no fault of yours)
    May your souls rest in peace !!

  3. Salute!
    I still believe if someone deserves high salaries, they are soldiers and doctors.
    If someone deserves lower salaries, its the software people!Alas, I belong to them!
