Memory Eternal Judith, and Great Uncle Will.
With gratitude on Remembrance Day… to all who’ve served and continue to serve – protecting Canada and our freedom. Today we reflect upon our past, and look ahead with bright hope toward the future. Thank you for your courage, service, and sacrifice!
May our merciful God grant us His Peace from Above, especially to those in the midst of great suffering which continues, in many places.
In Flanders Fields
by Canadian John McCrae (1872 -1918); A poet, physician, author, artist and soldier during World War I.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
May God grant us to be worthy of His Peace from Above!
