The Daily Post prompt today is ‘stroll’
Today
I stroll, walk
among the flowers,
beneath the trees,
along the river.
I can,
without fear,
because once,
some brave men
and brave women
said no,
to abject depravity,
and though they died,
more came after
and drove the darkness away,
so I may stroll, walk
among the summer scents
and remember.
Wonderful poem and sentiment. Sometimes we need reminders.
We always need reminders. I’m not a believer in the forgive and forget system.
Too easy to forget in fact. (K)
It would make life easier if we were amnesiac, but something I cannot bear is that not only were so many millions killed horribly and needlessly, but that they should now be forgotten.
