Good
morning world, or good afternoon, evening or night depending on the
time of day you are reading this.
Here
in Australia it is ANZAC Day so I am sharing The Ode of Remembrance
written in 1914 by Laurence Binyon.
They
shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn;
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn;
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning,
We will remember them
You
may notice the words “lest we forget” are missing, this is
because when the poem was written those words were not part of the
poem but were added by someone at some point, if you know when and by
who please tell me.
I have tried to always teach my kids to remember...
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Jo-Anne. Nice words and good reminder. Take care.
ReplyDeleteThat was lovely. There's not enough "remembrance" and honor stressed for our young people. We ALL need to remember.
