be experienced by everyone in our land,

In remembrance of the 100th Anniversary of the end of the First World War – November 11, 1918 at 11:11 AM.

 

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead: Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields!

Taken from IN FLANDERS FIELDS
By Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

Composed at the battlefront on May 3, 1915 
during the second battle of Ypres, Belgium

Life is short …

Break the rules,

Forgive quickly,

Kiss slowly,

Laugh uncontrollably,

And never regret anything that made you smile.

May the day never burden.

May dawn find hope in your heart,

Approaching your new  day with dreams, possibilities, and promises.

May evening find you gracious and fulfilled.

And may you go into the night blessed, sheltered, and protected.
