We Shall Remember

Off to the battlefield many courageous soldiers went Changing the course of history, a milestone event Fighting for freedom at a very deadly cost Eight and a half million lives would be sadly lost Devastation touched the world far and wide Horrors from the Great War no one could hide Poppies grew in abundance where fallen men laid We are internally grateful for sacrifices that were made Nov 12, 2019 - ~ Written for Give Me 8 Lines of Rhyme contest but it filled before I could submit my entry~

This was really nicely crafted Cecilia. A wonderful poetic tribute to all off those who stood for our freedom. Too bad you missed the contest, this would have done well.
