what kids think of Remembrance Day

A poem by one student:

We Thank You

The bagpipes hissing grieves of death

Some gone forever, lest we forget.

Acrid smells fill the air

Into the trenches if you dare.

Horror and fear

The gunshots near.

Running through drills,

Of mud and kill.

The blood-red petals,

The shiny medals.

To those who died,

I thank you from all of us.
