Remembrance Poems
To the World/ У світ (Ukrainian)
by Halyna Myroslava
папір проривається
з мушлі земного життя
з глибокої ванни куди опускається тіло
човном вибираєшся
воду навбік від стебла
щоб веслами пам’яті
неба торкнутися ліри
(ГалинаМирослава)
The unknown soldier
by Baramundi Roy
Unknown to us, yet known to God,
as through World War 1 he trod.
He'd never fought a war before
and did not like the sights he saw.
The shells and bullets flying by
and the carnage that made him cry.
He gave his all, his life he spent
as onward and upward he went.

Remembrance
by Emile Verhaeren
Cold in the earth—and the deep snow piled above thee,
Far, far removed, cold in the dreary grave!
Have I forgot, my only Love, to love thee,
Severed at last by Time's all-severing wave?
Now, when alone, do my thoughts no longer hover
Over the mountains, on that northern shore,
Resting their wings where heath and fern-leaves cover
That noble heart for ever, ever more?

In Remembrance of My Lost Angel
by Carl Halling
I feel a deep, deep sorrow,
As life nears its final page,
The hard times that come with age,
It’s enough to make a good man rage,
But somehow, there’s a special sorrow,
In tears cried for love long gone,
By eyes that look back filled with pain,
At my lost angel.

A Memory Box
by Charmaine Klaire Alonzo
I closed my eyes one night
Saw vivid images of yesterday
Waking up with heaviness
I think, I just cried once again
Some doors I closed way back
Turned out opening one by one
Even boxes I completely hidden
Opened once more in front of me

Remembrance
by Peter Dr Lim
I would have none
swear to remember me
when I’m nestled
in that final beyond
Zidine starog grada
by Nastasimir Franović
Da li je sada sumoran grad?
Sjećam se sunca.
Toplog junskog što jenjava.
Zašto k’o prognanik neki lutam?
Sjećam se našeg juče.
Najljepšeg juče.
Borovih grana.
Sjenki naših podno zidina grada.
Ali to je samo juče,
Juče tupo odzvanja.
