 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. “The time has come for Man to lay down his arms, and pick up each other.” ~ Linda L. Dowd |

This is simply beautiful! I have just returned from visiting the war graves in Omaha France where 10,000 US men and women are buried - so sad to think that their families are so far away...it was a truly emotional experience for me and I'm pleased I went there.. lives lost at what cost? Be well Roniece |

sewasham ~ Thank you, Steve. Every November 11, at least where I live, I find it uncanny how the weather is usually dismal and gray ~ reflecting the mood of the day. Love, Harmony, & Peace, Linda |

Our past has so much greatness shored within, doesn't it? I think so. |
