Remembrance Day



How can I remember something that I have never experienced?  I cannot, but I can educate myself - read and learn about what has happened.  I can live a life in gratitude for the gift of freedom won by someone else's blood.  I can take a moment and think, am I living a life worthy of the sacrifice made for me?

I remember singing a song at an assembly or concert in grade 5.  Part of it went like this::

Let peace begin with me
Let this be the moment now.

With ev'ry step I take
Let this be my solemn vow
To take each moment and live
Each moment in peace eternally
Let there be peace on earth
and let it begin with me
