"NOVEMBER 11: A DAY OF REMEMBRANCE"
-- by Frank C Yue
We remember those living and dead,
Whose uniforms were stained blood red,
Who gave of their lives freely,
So we may live in liberty.
Others suffered and gave so much;
Their valour and sacrifice are such --
The least we can do is never
Forget them and the fallen ones ever.
One's death may either be
Light as a feather,
Or heavy as a mountain.
What's your choice when you're going to die?
You may not want to decide --
"The Light, for the others to see --
O Let mine be a fountain
Of hope and inspiration!"
《虞美人~陣亡將士紀念日》一老年人
.
心頭銘記英雄血,壯烈犧牲別。
捨身取義殺成仁,爭取自由為人民。
.
泰山輕重鴻毛比,衡量人生死。
如何選擇費思量,願作明燈引導究端詳。
"WHERE GO THE BOATS?"
-- ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON (1850-1894)
Golden is the sand,
It flows along for ever,
With trees on either hand.
Castles of the foam,
Boats of mine a-boating --
Where will all come home?
On goes the river,
And out past the mill,
Away down the valley,
And away down the hill.
A hundred miles or more,
Other little children
Will bring my boats ashore.
