I love this poem it's very good but kind of sad by the way if you get a chance can you check out some of my work.

This was wonderful. Especially the 'those who hold up the ground you walk'. Very astute writing.

Wow. That was really good! I love it. I can't believe those people laughed at the day! We should always remember everyone around the world that sacrificed for what was right.

Its so beautiful -- you really captured the moment!

wow, reminds me of my high school, plp are so immature these days~ anyways,that day was tiring for me, cuz i had to perform 5 assembly^^ but, great poem^^

nice poem! i especially liked the last two words of the first four lines (ie. silent sadness, soundless cries etc.) Great work!

awesome poem! and btw, thanx 4 reviewing my poem. i added a good bit more 2 it 2day. hope u like it. and keep up the good work. u have a true gift.~Mal (duckyluvr911)~

I know exactly what you mean. Last year, our school had a Vetran's Day assembly, and the jrs and srs made a laughing stock of it. Some people are so dissrespectful. Very nice poem. Some of us need to be reminded why we're so lucky and why we have what we have.
