I’m reblogging this post to celebrate ANZAC DAY 2016 ~ LEST WE FORGET
April 25, 2015
On 25th April, the day of the landings at Gallipoli, I want to remember the young volunteers from Australia and New Zealand who put their lives on the line to fight the brave fight a hundred years ago. My father, Bogdan Stojić, was a volunteer, too. He served as a medical orderly in the Serbian Army at the time.
The poem in this post is dedicated to the heroes of both World Wars as well as those in present wars, as, unfortunately, humans have not yet found a way to resolve conflicts without the use of arms. The poem was written for Susan Budig’s Mindful Poetry Contest 2012. It was first published by narratorAUSTRALIA (now narratorINTERNATIONAL) online and in print in narratorAUSTRALIA, Volume Two. It also appears in my book Dreams On My Pillow.

Bonjour IRINAS
C’est bientôt le premier mai
Et j’ai cherché , cherché
Les brins de muguet
Dans les bois d’ALSACE
Sur les talus ,sous les branchages et je l’ai trouvé
Je viens t’offrir en avance ce petit bouquet de muguet
Je l’ai sentie il a une belle odeur parfumé
Regarde ces belles petites clochettes blanches
Chaque clochette sonne mon amitié
Pour toi ce petit porte bonheur
Passe une belle semaine et un bon 1 mai avec du bonheur
BISE Bernard
Merci bien pour ce tres joli bouquet de muguet au parfum delicat. J’apprecie ton amitie, cher Bernard. Bon 1 mai a toi. 🙂 Irina
