moon Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 For all the brave people, of all nations, who fought for our freedom.In Flanders FieldsIn Flanders fields the poppies blowBetween the crosses, row on rowThat mark our place; and in the skyThe larks, still bravely singing, flyScarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days agoWe lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,Loved and were loved, and now we lieIn Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe:To you from failing hands we throwThe torch; be yours to hold it high.If ye break faith with us who dieWe shall not sleep, though poppies growIn Flanders fields.J.M.

-pops- Posted November 9, 2003 Report Share Posted November 9, 2003 I'm not known for being a softie but those fields in northern France are desperately, desperately sad, even now and even more so when the poppies are in bloom.There is nothing so evil as man's inhumanity to man and to think that it is still going on makes me quite tearful.Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
