44 ... 45 ...

Outside, a yellow ribbon is fluttering in a cold winter wind ...
Inside, the morning news tells us that
two more Canadian soliders have died ...
Our death toll as a nation pales in comparison
to the number of Afghanis who have died ...
but for 45 families here at home there is a gap ...
an ache that will simply not go away ...
Today we pray for the fallen ...
Today we pray for those serving under
our Canadian Flag far from home.
Today we remember ...
Lest we forget ...
