DULCE ET DECORUM EST ~ PRO PATRIA MORI ! Is it did those who went \"Over the Top\" in WW1 or into the \"Battle of Britain\" in WW2 ~ really know WHY ~ will we ever know why ? But that is not the question ~ the question is \"Were they willing to die that we might live ?\" The answer is always YES and because of the \"We will remember them !\" Thanks for sharing an awesome Acrostic on an equally awesome Topic ~ Yours BRIAN.

A part of the responses in a Prayer Book, for Evening Prayer I think, says:
\'Have mercy on us, O Lord.
The response is:
\'For there is none other that fighteth for us, but only thou, O God\'.

A fine encouragement and tribute Gold. You are surely one among those our good Lord spoke of when He said:\' Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God\'.
It\'s a pity there\'s no peace in hearing me sing! lol.

A full and fulfilling life expressed there Gold, and with your faith as a foundation.
Started me singing now (argghh):
\'But purer and higher and greater will be,
Our wonder, our rapture, when Jesus we see\'. We\'ll be rapturing for ever!

Great message. We all seem to be held back by fear and the what-ifs. Sometimes a leap of faith will be just what we need.

Good write. I do tend to do some things \'for ever\'!
A corny joke (groan!): The last thing a guy heard me say was :\' Hey don\'t stand too close to the edge of that cliffffffffffff.......\'! (LOL).

Since I\'ve never really known a \'comfort zone\', living outside the box has come naturally for me. Yes, it has created many of the changes your fine poem alludes to.
Thought-provoking write, Goldie!

Goldfinch, you said it so well: think outside of the box, the box that is your comfort zone! While life within our expectations is comfortable, there are times when we would like to experience something a little bit more exciting. And you expressed that thought perfectly!

Louis Gibbs said:
There is something quite special, even spiritual, about being near water. A sometimes powerful connection is felt. I\'ll never forget the overwhelmingly powerful connection I experienced from the bow of a windjammer under sail, observing the might of waves we plowed through.
Our connection well expressed in this painting of a poem, Goldie!
