You gave with an outpouring of unselfish courage, bravery and even fear. You, the thousands of souls who have trod the killing fields as life sapped unmercifully falls before you, causing a stumble. The screams unheard, the terror blinded to the world, brought slowly into our eyes..as we wept our tears and the waters of our eyes mingled with your own. In memory we honor, as hands touch the walls, rest softly upon each granite stone...of the known and those who rest without. I give... To each, my admiration, praise.. My devotion to the memory which shall not die....for each has died a hero’s death..remembered... And I stand before you....heels together, shoulders straight....saluting proudly....as my tears mingle in the ocean of souls, not forgotten...

We have so many to be proud of... those living, and those passed... Thank you, Magnus... |

This peace, and this piece, brought such a reverent thump in my soul. Thank you for the reminder of the meaning of this time, so eloquently stated, by such a talented and loving hand. TD |

Should be read aloud--to a sea of crosses. Touching. Truly one of the best tributes I've read. |

What I wrote...flows from a well full of my own tears...For each cross, covered in tears, casts a shadow of remember upon my heart. Thank you each... |

With such words from the soul how could we ever forget....you bring tears to the hearts and souls of all who read your words...This poem is a timeless masterpiece and I feel it a privilege to have read it. Thank you for remembering. |
