Reminds me of the poppies in Flanders field. "Grew it where the dead had fallen.Willed it where the dying lay, so the world would still remember When the war clouds cleared away." Thank you small town and Joanne for such a tribute to the will of all living things and the bravery of all those fallen in the fight.lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00396498563722858586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-59328562364031608702012-05-30T18:43:54.109-04:002012-05-30T18:43:54.109-04:00Real people live in small towns.Real people live in small towns.Leeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655189620056032790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1920860526738969165.post-18714805108039412842012-05-30T14:56:27.601-04:002012-05-30T14:56:27.601-04:00Cathy raved about you for a reason!Cathy raved about you for a reason!Alex J.
