WHERE HAVE ALL THE FLOWERS GONE

Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time passing
Where have all the flowers gone?
Long time ago
Where have all the flowers gone?
Girls have picked them every one
When will they ever learn?
When will they ever learn?

The eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month marks the signing of the Armistice, on 11 November 1918 to signal the end of World War I.
At 11:00am on the 11th of November 1918, the guns of the Western front fell silent after four years of continuous battle.
May we all remember well those souls who sacrificed their lives to protect and preserve our right to freedom and liberty.

To keep the suspense going…I was amazingly surprised about the wonderful response from yesterday’s photo of the entryway to “The Bishop’s Garden.” Indeed, I will show you wonderful readers what is held behind that rustic and intriguing door. Stay tuned, the secret will be revealed very soon!

Beautiful post of remembrance! The picture is incredibly vibrant with colours!
Intrigued with the door to the unknown : )
Thanks Judy – I’ll confess to you, I went to find my pictures of what’s behind that door, and was quite disappointed. I may have to make a quick trip there to recapture the scene. The poppies were in a grape vineyard in rural Provence.
Beautiful shot and a great post… 🙂
Thank you so much Drake ! I really love poppies.
I wore my poppy…
Really? That is so amazing. I remember people wearing poppies in America when I was young, but don’t see it now. I think it is important to remember the sacrifices these people made for our freedom.
We Canadians take our poppies very seriously. John McCrae who penned the poem “In Flanders Fields” was a Canadian. My son is a corporal in the Irish Fusiliers bagpipe band so played the bagpipes in the Remembrance service before heading out to the Legions to play for the vets. They love seeing the bagpipers – they all cried when they heard their “song” and especially when they ended up with “Amazing Grace.” The emotions and memories are never forgotten. Your post was an remarkable tribute. Thank you…
Lovely post, Emily.
You are too kind Sylvia. Thank you and have a wonderful week!
beautiful… i ADORE these lyrics; make me cry every time i hear them. perfect timing and companion piece…
It is truly a poignant song, all of the lyrics talk about sacrifice and loss. Gives me chills to think of the song even now too.
Wonderful and moving post.
Thank you Phil. I guess getting older makes me more sentimental, but I truly am thankful for those who protect and serve our country.
I’m with you all the way on that.
Wonderful image with sweet remembrances! 🙂 🙂
Thanks Maggie !
