    Eleven– Eleven

     Remember, remember the 11th. of  November                   
      Don’t lets forget the men who went to war                      
      Fighting for our liberty on a foreign shore             
      Remember, remember the 11th. of November

    So raise your glass to heroes of the past                                                
    Let them live forever for our every day                                               To them we owe so much but they who had to pay                           
    No one could give more                                                                     
    What sacrifice  all war

    Remember, remember the 11th. of November                              
    See the cenotaph all covered in red                                       
    Red are the poppies that honour the dead                                          
    Stark realism stares us in the face                                                        Welcome to the human race!                                                               
    But remember, remember the 11th.of November

    I will remember your plea and agree that stark realism stares us in the face and I will buy a poppy in their honor. And, I will raise the poppy to my lips and whisper: may freedom ring in your name and may peace abound forever. Amen.

    Thank you for remembering. Here in England almost everyone buys a poppy & now we have the young men yet again going to war.I read your biography and wish like you to see the end to all wars - but I doubt that it will ever happen. My best wishes to you - keep writing poetry. Margy
