The Memorial. by Tracy Bucknell on Saturday, 5 November 2011 at 16:04 . I sat beneath your majesty, pondering my intent, perusing the shadows of your sacrifice, weighing the balance of hero's, against my upcoming event. As I sat in morose contemplation, of the dilema I did face, and read the names of those sacrificed, so I could make choices in this way. I wondered if you'd diiberated before you went to war.. if you'd looked around you and wondered, what was it all for ? how many people would understand the meaning of your life ? and weigh the balance of family, love and eternal strife. and wether if you'd never gone, would you still be with your wife ?. I contemplated ages when marriage was for life. I envisioned you in blood filled fields,where now the poppies grow and wondered if in years to come , would anyone ever know.... how on the eve of my wedding day, as I sat in contemplation, I thanked you for the life you gave, and embraced my destination.

Hi Tracey, welcome to WOL, about time! Nothing like starting with an explosion of poems on the site, will have a read later although I recognise some of the titles! Jeff X
Hi Tracey - welcome to WOL. I see you've braved the blogs! I think poems on the blog section get more individual attention if you post one and give it a chance to sit there for a while, and hopefully get some comments, before you post the next one. Hope you don't mind me saying - it's up to you of course :)
