As History's Made

In the heat of the action shots ringing out When the battle is pitched 'midst cries and shouts As history's made and heroes emerge Retreats and advances tides turn and surge Now's no time for fleeting thoughts' introspection ~ The story retold enriches reflection

I guess this is why they say hindsight is 20/20--you are right in the heat of the battle there's no time for philosophising and analyzing. This would be a nice preface in a history book. :)

What a great idea, P.S., about using this a preface... Of course, now all you have to do is write that history book for it. LOL. Seriously, thank you so much for the idea. Warm wishes, Gershon

We are, indeed, victims of history---hopefully all for the best! Thanks, Mahtab. Take care, Gershon
