'a Soldier Brave and Strong'

The snow is falling, falling on Remembrance Day, and I cannot help recall and remember my brother; now, his beautiful name is engraved in a stone gray, he was more than a brother but a friend like no other. He left only wanting to keep Canadian peace, those who think peacekeepers don't die are wrong; until my last breath I keep in my heart a piece, of him- and my love for a soldier brave and strong. ___________________________________________ November 9, 2020 repost from- November 10, 2019 Poetry/Verse/'A Soldier Brave and Strong' Copyright Protected, ID 11-1303-387-10 all Rights Reserved, 2019, Constance L France WE STILL REMEMBER an historic event Brian Strand, Blog Challenge, November 9, 2020
