Nicely penned tribute, Kay. I like that, throughout the Commonwealth, Remembrance services pretty much follow the same pattern. They shall not grow old, as we who are left grow old.

Your words have much meaning and I like how you mention mothers in your poem. My father served three years of combat in WWII so Veteran's Day as it is called in the US means much to me.

Hello Eric in the mother country; we need to remember the sacrifice they made and London was bombed to pieces. Blessings, Kay.

Nicely written, Aussie. We, too, in Canada celebrate Remembrance Day. Something we all need to remember is the sacrifice these men suffered for freedom. Good job in writing about this day, hour, and date.

Comment from Lovinia
Hi Aussie
A lovely tribute to those who fought and remained behind ... a remembrance of all who fight in any war to preserve our way of life and our freedoms. All's the pity we haven't learned a better way to resolve our differences.
Excellent expression of strong sentiments and presentation.
I guess one thing we can share ... we all honour those who fight for us ... and that's both sides of the battleground. I found it hard to feel so softly spoken and expressed my tribute in a more bloody way ... at least most understood my compassion and tribute despite my anger and frustration.
A great poem as always. I know you never forget. Well done my friend. Hugs - Lovi xoxoxo
