Remember
Remembrance Day Today is a day set aside, for us to remember?To remember all those that have given all there is to give.It is hard to think of these things.We know and believe, that they are waiting to be with us,At the end of this our life’s journey.
We gather here to find peace,
With those that have made the journey ahead of usThey made the journey so that we can live in a better worldTwice the nations of the world came to blows, for a better worldThen also there were others, that each day have given their all.So that others may lead a life, or be given the chance to.
We remember them, they are many, and we set aside only a day.To remember. To remember, those that fought in wars for the good of othersWe know that they will never be forgottenThey are gathered together now, as we recall them.To a great number of us, they are with us, always
To those that lost someone we send our thoughtsAnd our love to hold them, in their own private grief.
We must strive to hold them always,
As they hold their loved ones,That gave us all they had We remember them I walked in a field of corn and there was one poppyI remembered them
I walked in a field of Poppies and there was one head of cornI remembered them
That I can walk this world as I do.I remember them.
It is with sadness that I feel for all those that were left behindIt is with joy, that I know that they believe, in those that, we rememberThat we can walk with hope, and peace in our day’s, is because of them.
We thank you,
You who have suffered, to give us these daysYou, the ones that gather with us at the closing of the daysWith your memories and love for those that have given allWe thank you, that we can, Remember
The haunting melody, we now know as 'Taps' used at military funerals was born. During Your civil War
The words are: -
Day is done.
Gone the sun.
From the lakes
From the hills.
From the sky.
All is well.
Safely rest.
God is nigh.Fading light.
Dims the sight.
And a star.
Gems the sky.
Gleaming bright.
From afar.
Drawing nigh.
Falls the night.Thanks and praise.
For our days.
Neath the sun
Neath the stars.
Neath the sky.
As we go.
This we know.
God is nigh
I have added this, to the Rememberance piece for this weekend
Am Not sure if you all know the words to the service you have for your troops over there in U S A
I received an "E" Mail with the whole thing on today, and the story of its origins.
I haven't included the story as I guess most of you know of it.
It was the words that a lot of people are unaware of.
The Edit I was going to do, to put it back on stream for this Weekend.
This extra piece came through and I had to add it , as I think it important to you all.
Yours,
Ian.T Howard
