In Flanders Fields
Two years ago I had the opportunity to cycle along the Danube River.
Breath taking views of poppies lined the pathways, at which I could no longer succumb
to my mind, to stop and reflect on the poem of John McCrae.
He wrote, what became the most famous Canadian Poem of the First World War, 1915.
Being a doctor, he knew and saw the pain first hand, at the battle field.
Today, 100 years later we still have doctors and soldiers at war
and how much has or hasn't changed.
Today I asked my grandsons if they had heard of this poem....
I can still hear the echo of their voices as they recited this special poem.
Let's just take a moment to stop, reflect and pause in silence of those who have gone ahead.
