FOCUS - SEPTEMBER 2016 37 FOCUS - NOVEMBER 2017 37 SCUGOG MEMORIAL LIBRARY 231 Water St., Port Perry 905-985-7686 www.scugoglibrary.ca WE FORGOT There were empty seats in the center As the warriors waited there. To hear the voice of the bugle As is spoke in the silenced air. And what have those forgotten? Are their thoughts with us this way? As we forget to honour Their lot – this Remembrance Day. Sure it is a holiday – And wreaths are displayed around But please forget your shopping, come on in and please sit down. Now close your eyes in silent prayer And hope that we’re forgiven. By loved ones left over there Who watch us now from heaven.

Sales - Service - Support Full Parts and Service Chemical Supplies HIGHWAY OF HEROES He’s coming home - my brother They stand and watch His body lying there so still. In death, so quiet, never more the man I knew who loved and laughed and sang and wept A friend now gone, unique and irreplaceable, his soul lives on The car goes by The crowd silently stands in tribute to youth not blossoming its promise gone The future of a life chopped down and lost I mourn as does the silent world Such overwhelming sadness part of our history.
