In silence we stand here before you
Remembering the day that you left
We miss you and never forget our loss
The day that has left us bereft
Seven years have passed since you left us
Every one we have marked with respect
Not a day has gone by that we dont shed a tear
From us...thats the least to expect
Although it caused so much terrible grief
It brought home a feeling of pride
Not for the terrible pain that it caused
But the courage...displayed far and wide

Wonderfully woven write. Beautiful in all its glory. Is the picture one you took?
If not please credit the media author(if known). It definitely brings the feeling of loss and pride in my home to the forefront. Well done. Thank you. -

Im afraid I do not know who took the picture...I found it on google when looking for images to illustrate my write..in any case I dont think the person who took the image would object to its use in this instance. regards Dan x
