Lest We Forget

Stories of battles fought and won,
Yet so many more are left unsung.

Who are you, that gave your life me?
For my freedom, my rights, my liberty?

My thanks to you, who I've never met.
I promise you I will never forget.

One week after the photo or picture is posted I will pick one offering to put beneath the image. This is a way of celebrating exceptional creativity. Any and all posts are available for your creative mind to make an offering at any time (even ones where a writing has been placed on the front page like this one). If you are new here and want to offer to every image here, feel free. We are writers, WRITE! If this is your exceptional writing posted here on the Front Page Pictures, Poetry & Prose invites you to include the Exceptional Writing Award Button on your blog. Visit the Exceptional Writing Award post for the details and the button to download.

One fallen soldier
a single act of courage
seen at a distance

Time spent
Tears shed
Blood spilt
Faith led
Lives lost
Hope restored
Courage given
Nation reborn

Seeing the solitary poppy reminds me of my Granddad, who fought in the first world war. He went off with his two brothers. He walked with a limp, his knee had been shot through whilst in the trenches.

As he'd shuffled to the horse-drawn ambulance on his backside, his sergeant had ordered him back to the trenches, accusing him of cowardice, and threatening to shoot him for desertion if he didn't return.

Only the sight of the gaping wound persuaded him to allow Granddad to complete his journey to the ambulance.

He was always a comedian, and played practical jokes - annoying my Grandma by leaving an apparently spilled bottle of ink on the table. He could skilfully write simultaeneoulsy with both hands, forwards and backwards, and he could draw complex sketches to amuse my young brother and myself.

It's good to remember.
