To Remember (poem)

[Mike Baker]

Yeah, so it's not November, but still. This poem that I wrote will be published. Mods feel free to deleat this if it's no good.



To Remember

In our time we still have to fight
to soldier on through the night
some may slander you be we never forget what you accomplished

for your sacrifice, we have this day
November 11, Remembrance Day

protests occur againts them,
nearly every day,
but no one wants peace more then the soldier
who fights for it every day

it is not always a war they fight
but they will always take up arms when called upon
they will even die, all for the greater good

we thank thee on this day
but you all deserve more respect
then just on Remembrance Day

No person wants peace more then a Soldier,
because it's the Soldiers who fight the wars
not those who oppose them.

Hey that is a really nice poem.
I recommend submitting something to poetry.ca, I wrote up a quick poem and they chose it to publish in a book called "Midnight Written", and also put it on a CD.

So I got the book, it's great, lot's of great reading. If you like poems pick it up, its called "Reflections From the Stream". Mine is on page 57    ;D

Yeah about that, since my poem was in there, I got an advanced copy, I think the book comes out later this month, or some time this summer. If I get a confermed date I'll post it up. Thanks for the kind words too PN

I guess I'll bump this now, since it's almost Remembrance Day.
