Notes About The Poem

Lighting a Candle - Word Acrostic

LIGHTING a candle for those who have died 
A most thoughtful and kindly request done, since lighting a 
CANDLE is the least, we can  do, 
FOR those who have sacrificed their life and all, so 
THOSE of us can live in a better place.Let's remember those 
WHO have died in all the wars, who, 
HAVE fought so bravely in the name of peace & freedom and 
DIED.Let's never forget it and so let's pray for World peace.

"D" . . . I really like this one!! As you may already know (I think I told you earlier), I'm a veteran, a retired U.S Army Officer -- and so your poem here and the words have tremendous impact and meaning for me. My father was a WWII vet and my brother is a Vietnam vet, and I served as a Commander in Berlin when it was a walled city on "Freedom's Frontier" as they used to say here in Germany before the fall of The Wall. God Bless you and Amen to you on this write. A "7" -- YES!! Cheers, Gary
