Lines from a famous Poem.
They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

A verse from a peom by Rupert Brooke
If I should die, think only this of me,
That' there's some corner of a foreign field,
That is forever England.
There shall be in that rich earth ,a richer dust concealed,
A dust whom England bore,shaped,made aware,
Gave once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers,blest by the suns of home.
I think this says it for all of us wherever we hail from.

Ok, Andy. I resent it bigger. I hope this size is better. Too much bigger and it may not post. If you can get it bigger, go ahead. The first one was a tad too small. :oops:

Eagle, I have left the first one as it was and deleted your second posting as it was very fuzzy. It does not matter too much because I have added the words and a little info in the description for you. :cool:

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.

Thanks, Bombardier. That helped a lot.
Eagle,
1st thing, a lot of stuff shows up real small on my computer. Being a computer illiterate, I don't know why or what to do about it.
2nd thing, yup I'm old too. :mrgreen:
