A Time to Remember by Heather


It’s a time to remember,

As it’s that day in November,

Where we have silence and poppies and thoughts for the dead,

We thank all of the people that have gone out to war,

We thank them all

We grieve over the heroic dead

And the brave men and women who have given up their lives

All for queen and country

Some are fighting at this moment just to keep us safe

We all have our fingers crossed that we will welcome them all back to home sweet home

It’s a time to remember

As it’s that day in November

  1. Excellent idea on this week's challenge Heather. Lovely to have the same opening and ending. Next time think of your commas in the final part of your poem.

  2. Wow Heather what a thoughtful poem and what a wonderful response to the prompt this week. I love the line 'silence and poppies and thoughts for the dead' - this really sums up remembrance day - thank you for sharing this. Jane Team 100WC Barnsley UK
