Poetic

My poem:

Those who defend

This land of freedom
Our hearts remember.

Coincidentally, this morning I told my daughter the poem my dad taught me ages ago

I'm a poet

and I didn't know it

my feet show it

they're Longfellows.

I went online to show her who Longfellow was and found that he too wrote a poem (way better of course) about those who've defended our freedom.

A Nameless Grave by Henry Wadworth Longfellow

(the last three phrases had the most meaning for me)

When I remember thou hast given for me

All that thou hadst, thy life, thy very name,

And I can give thee nothing in return.

God bless our troops and those who died to defend our freedom.
