Remembering
When I wake in my bed
Soft pillow under head
I remember
As I watch stunning dawn
While I put my clothes on
I remember
When I go grab a seat
To have something to eat
I remember
As I drive off to work
And the streets aren’t berserk
I remember
As I look at the sky
And see no warships fly
I remember
As I think of my rights
Which were won through your fights
I remember
As I think of the men
Who will not breathe again
I remember
The price that you paid
So we’re not afraid
I remember
The freedom of speech
And for our dreams to reach
I remember
To praise a Creator
And not a dictator
I remember
When troubles arise
I’ve no moans or cries
‘Cause I remember
I won’t disrespect
All you did protect
‘Cause I remember
That it cost you your lives
But your legend survives
‘Cause I remember
I’ll always remember…
In remembrance of every warrior
who sacrificed everything
for an ideal
for a cause
for us
this piece is very touchy, superbly written…
beautifully written – touched me deeply – almost beyond words -thank you – I shall have to save this for our Canadian Remembrance Day in November
Such a beautiful poem, Miro. It touched me.. Great work.
Miro, I am being totally frank when I say this is the finest ode to our fallen heroes I have ever read. I have shared on my Facebook timeline for prompt folks to go on in remembrance throughout this Memorial Day week.
A beautiful tribute Miro..
