RED Carnations Red, a Bridegroom’s wedding Farewell to the dead, The tears we’re shedding Flanders fields with poppies growing A reddish dawn, a cockerel crowing No time for life, no time for joy A nation’s freedom, in the hands of a boy No time to question, no time to lie Just time to think, just time to die |

Whoa, I could go on all day about this one. The grief over youth lost to senseless wars has always engulfed me. If feel for you and with you, if this a personal loss, on this one. Michael |
