Timmy's Journal - 13. For This Remembrance Day

In many countries around the world, it is Remembrance Day, here in the US it is Veterans Day, and in others it goes by even more names besides.
However, they are each one and the same. November 11, is a time to remember and honor our veterans, both past and present. So Tim, thank you so much for capturing this day so beautifully

This is a beautiful verse. You capture the need to remember those who served and what they died for. I will keep this one for Rememberance day

I loved this, Tim. It was a beautiful tribute.

Thank you Tim
This is a beautiful and poignant tribute to fallen heroes.
May we never forget the sacrifice.

Wow, I didn't know you could write things like this. And it was from your heart, which makes it even more beautiful.

Thank you Tim,
Very lovely thoughts, beautifully expressed.

The perfect poem for Remembrance Day!

Thank you!

Perfect.

Thank you Drew. I really wanted to say something and I only really know about In Flanders Field, guaranteed tears if I hear that. I appreciate your comments and all your support.

Thank you Parker. I was watching the Services from England on Sunday and I wanted to say something about what these men did. I've also seen docs on tv about id'g bodies and it really touched me. One man had a leather heart with a lock of hair in his pocket. It really got to me, he was in an unmarked mass grave in France, in WW1. We forget they were men, like you and me and more often kids.

Thank you so much.

Thanks Bucket.. means a lot that you stopped by and read them. I appreciate it.

To my mind, this has some of the same tenderness as the WW1 poets, most of whom where Gay, like Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. That's pretty amazing, and really touches the heart through something like immediacy – as if you had lived through the events and suffered the loss directly. That feature makes this poem a wonderfully rewarding experience.

Thank you for posting it. You are a very fine poet, Tim!

Thanks to AC's status update, I saw this. I'm sorry I missed it last year.

Tim, this was simply beautiful. You have such a way with words. I'm all cried out.

I really need to catch up on your writings.
