Powerful! are words that come to mind when I read your amazing work! I feel truly blessed by our friendship and the opportunity to share with each other!

Thank you so much Andrea! I debated about adding a comma after the fifth line. Guess it wouldn't have hurt. I loved this opportunity to write about the Remembrance Day I experienced in England. Great contest. Fun form. Thanksgiving blessings.

Hi Valsa! Indeed we can never re-pay what they have paid with their loves. It was an honor to honor their sacrifice - to remember what they gave to us so we can live in peace. Thank you for your lovely message that deeply touched my heart! Blessings to you sweet friend! Your messages always lift my spirits!

Anne-Lise, many, many thanks! As a child I would sometimes wander through a cemetery close to our home and wonder of the lives of those buried there. Those experiences left an indelible mark of gratitude in me as I thought about why these people were there and how they came to be buried in that graveyard! It was truly an honor to write this nonet! Blessings! Grateful for your best wishes! Hugs! :)

Eve, dear friend, thank you for your wonderful feedback and your best wishes. I was hoping that my awe of Remembrance Day in England would come through this nonet! It was an amazing experience! Blessings my friend!

Thank you so much Milt! It is always an honor to honor our veterans who have given us so much including their very lives! In our age of self indulgence, like you, I believe their sacrifice must be remembered! Remembrance Day in England left a deep impression in my heart. Very special. Especially the red poppies! All the best.
