Remembering

It's Remembrance Day on Friday and I wrote something for our soldiers who have given their lives for our country and others.  The reason I'm putting it out there now, is because I want it to go viral on the net to reach as many people as possible so they remember on November 11. This is for you, the soldiers who gave the most precious gift, so that we could keep ours.

                                              No More Darkness

There is no more darkness, the light I see is not of the sun,
The thunder has awakened, the night sky alights with a gun,
There is no time to think of our day, there is no time to think of our night,
All we can think about is saving our life.

Peace is a desire, not a guarantee,
I made my choice, it's not about me,
The lives I save are worth the toll,
And the peace I find is within my soul.

There is no more darkness, the light I see is not of the sun,
The gates have all opened, there's no reason to run,
I am embraced in a love, that no mortal knows,
Until he is lying among the poppy rows.

Always in my prayers
