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
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
