Today I remember your laugh
Today I remember your smile
Today I remember your compassion
Today I remember your words
Today I remember your past
Today I remember the ideology of freedom
Today I remember the people who gave of themselves
Today I remember those who gave of their lives
Today I remember I am Free
Today I place the poppy close to my heart
Today I remember
Today and always

The last line says it all. We remember on one special day, but we keep these brave men and women in our hearts each and every day.

a prayerful mantra that strikes me quite joyously. All the best.
In Remembrance.
