REMEMBRANCE DAY. LOOKING BACK AND AHEAD.

The video link needs to be copied and pasted I'm afraid.

http://youtu.be/7kgAUf_rXss

ON FRIDAY WHILE DRIVING MORGAN HOME FROM SCHOOL SHE SANG THIS SONG THAT HER CLASS SANG FOR THEIR REMEMBERANCE DAY CEREMONY, WHICH I COULD NOT ATTEND. I HADN'T HEARD THE SONG BEFORE AND WAS UNPREPARED FOR MY REACTION. HER SWEET LITTLE CHILD'S VOICE SINGING OUT THESE WONDERFUL WORDS BROUGHT ME TO TEARS. A DIFFICULT FEAT WHILE DRIVING. SHE APPOLOGIZED BUT I EXPLAINED IT WAS NOT HER FAULT. I JUST WAS OVERCOME WITH HOW WONDERFULLY SHE DID.
I COULD THINK OF NO OTHER POST FOR REMBERANCE DAY.
I PUT THIS IN MY "JUST OUTSIDE" GALLERY AS IT IS JUST OUTSIDE FOR US ALL.
THAT IS NOT TO SAY I AM NOT GRATEFUL TO THOSE WHO PUT THEMSELVES IN HARMS WAY TO PROTECT MY WAY OF LIFE BUT WE NEED TO CHANGE OUR THINKING TOWARDS FIGHTING BEING AN ANSWER.

I watched the video and it is powerful! I am sure that if I had your experience as you did with Morgan singing, I would have had to pull off to the side of the road. Will the day ever come when there is no war and when we see the human race as one and in peace?
Your photo was well chosen... V
