Remembrance Day! Poem by Ramesh T A

Remembrance day is followed in gratitude to departed souls
For rendering remarkable service to us to survive, sustain and succeed;
Our beloved mother, father, wife, aunt and friend dear and near
How can be forgotten and their image ever fresh in mind sure!

When this is so with elders like me, how it would be for a child
Who loves truly and near the loved ones most of the time here;
Unbearable indeed the feeling to bring into control and change
As the mature elders do in the everyday life of the world ever!

What we are today is what they have inculcated like the seed
That has grown into big tree to give flowers and fruits freely;
I see effect whenever I see grand children or loving souls here;
Remembrance day is the best way to pacify hearts of them sure!

Birthday is joyful to celebrate but remembrance day is
better to show gratitude;
Those two day surely tames human emotion by joy and sorrow to all good humans here!
