Almost done...

This week has been hard for me for personal reasons but I think it has been my favorite in terms of the discussion board. I have enjoyed the fact that people picked their own poems and started their discussion. I was suprised at how I immediatly knew what I would share and that made me think about the impact that "The Soldier" had made on my all of those years ago. Rereading after eight weeks of reading other British poets, some who struggled in the aftermath of World War I, it reminded me that our soldiers need to be revered because whether or not they agree with the reason they are fighting--they are fighting.
