 WWI Canadian soldier Thomas Stewart Died in Flander’s Field, Belgium, in 1916 Blowing In the Wind ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ In dismal gray of rainy day, a poppy-pinned lapel, Reminds us all of Flanders Fields, where lie the brave that fell. A time for us to honour, all those who fought and died. Their loss was mourned by families, as their nation’s peoples cried. A war is so destructive, ~ No side can truly win. Tears fall down from heaven, as flags blow in the wind. |

Thank you for this lovely remembrance, Earth Angel, dear friend. War is devastating to every aspect of life and to the planet, too, and if angels do cry, then I am sure this is one of the biggest causes. It is Veterans' Day in the U.S. so this poem seems very fitting for us here in the U.S. today, as well.  & Love & Light.......lily jo [This message has been edited by iliana (11-12-2005 12:09 AM).] |

 Excellent write Linda.. Tomorrow at 11 am my oldest son has the privilege of flying a Lancaster bomber over our Parliament Buildings in Ottawa, in honour of our fallen heros. You know I will be watching the telecast of this fine memorial tribute. Thank you for this timely piece. Hugs, Nancy |
