In Remembrance


11th November 2008

In Remembrance of those affected by Wars in the past and the present

With Great Thanks to those who bravely served and suffered

and to their families and loved ones.

In the Sincerest hope that the future will be more peaceful

and that we will not be destined

to repeat our mistakes in the future.

To the Kind, the steadfast and the brave

in hope.

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
