Good on yah... :rolleyes: ... using this thread to get in a slam. Geez

My family attended the ceremonies yesterday. A young girl recited "In Flanders Fields"... and her voice... it was so tiny, so fragile....well there wasn't a dry eye in the crowd.

Hey, Dion did it to himself.

The pastor at my church had a little ceremony in the service yesterday. We sang O Canada and listened to a military trumpet salute. Then In Flander's Fields was recited, and all were touched.

It reminded me of an old song I used to know, which was originally a poem written by a soldier at the end of WWI, Edward Shillito . Here is a verse:

The heavens frighten us, they are too calm

In all the universe we have no place

Our wounds are hurting us; where is the balm?

Lord Jesus, by your scars we know your grace
