You poppies of Spring,
remember my powdered bones
kind winds carry home
For Poets United, this weeks prompt was Forgiveness. To those men that never came back, we will remember you.

So sad and moving! Your words supply so much emotion~
Thanks for stopping by Ellen. I played around with this one for some time, trying to find the best way to capture the moment. It is sad that so many lost everything, and now all these years later, not entirely sure why they all did it – SG
