   A truly inspired piece. Most of us will never be able to grasp its depth.

   In 30 minutes I will be piping a group of school children over to the local Legion and then off to play alone at a grave yard of veterans who have seem to be forgotten on Rememberance Day-kind a hard to believe eh?!

   I have never liked that poem. And to think it was written in WWI, a war typified by a most egregious loss of human life, is shocking indeed.
