Standing in the rain
Girls stand in the rain
Scouts remembering other
Scouts whose lives were cut short
Long before they had even lived
Macron stands in the rain
Remembering those who gave
Everything to save the world
From a war that tore it apart
Other leaders stand in the rain
Thankful for the sacrifice
Made by those buried there
Respectful of their memories
Trump doesn’t stand in the rain
Doesn’t understand why
Anyone would go out
In such weather
Today we think of that great day
One hundred years ago
When the killing stopped
And the world rejoiced
Those who fought in the rain
Snow, sleet, mud, danger
Have earned our highest regard
Living or dead, you matter to us
Thank you for your service
Your sacrifice was not in vain
We remember you today
And wish for peace again
Inspired by:
The Girl Scout Vigil held this weekend in honor of the Scouts who were killed by a drunk driver while on an outing:
The behavior of our president during the weekend’s events in honor of the veterans of WWI — which ended 100 years ago today.
