Danielj Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 I wrote this as an English Assignment for Remembrance Day, which is the day we Canadians take time to remember the brave men who fought in wars.I am hoping it will win a prize and be read. With that money, a friend would sell me 5 Doors cd's! Heart Of Gold Storming across the battlefield 'Twas not a Sunday stroll Bullets whistling by While the war was growing old Roaming through the plains Of foreign, war-stricken lands Unknown, unfriendly faces On every cobblestone Thinking of the hate that the world then had, The death, the torture, the blood. . . . What happened in those fateful days Should happen nevermore. Lessons never learned There is hatred still today Soldiers give their lives Every single day Honouring the living, remembering the dead Canadians now gather, to hear the names read. Every single one, had stories left untold Every single one, had a heart of gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_jr_ Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 That's top notch. It's a shame more people don't take these sort of observances seriously enough. I mean, these men made the ultimate sacrifice at the alter of peace, to steal from Abraham Lincoln. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_jr_ Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 I just realized I spelled 'altar' incorrectly. I went to edit it, and it said the time had expired. Rats. I hate to spell words the wrong way. Drives me nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danielj Posted November 26, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Well, it didnt win and it should of, I dont want to be cocky, but one of them that won had a line that went like this: "We take for granite our freedom" Like, are we talking about cement or the remembering here? And another winner was like Remember the soldiers Remember The Guns Remember The Killers Remember the uniforms oh well, you cant trust people over 70 to make the right decisions all the times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
