EVOKE OF BRAVERY – OBSERVING THE MEMORIAL DAY
“When there was advent of spring on earth,
And life was about to make a pleasant growth. 
Abruptly, the breeze was blowing with a distinct fear,
As if the fury of havoc is soon to appear.
There was a still silence of approaching adversity,
And the shadow of conflict wrapped the territory.
With the onward rolling era of fatal warfare,
As the lush field spoke the bloody affair.
The respiring tale of enduring bravery lived in,
While the sacrificing lives left behind their spunk stain.
The regimen to remember that eternity, we take the oath,
When there will be again, the advent of spring on earth.”
