Today, we pause in gratitude and remembrance...
Armistice Day reminds us not only of sacrifice, but also of unity, compassion, and the enduring hope for peace.
The red poppy - delicate yet resilient - connects us across generations.
It reminds us that even from the scars of war, beauty and humanity can still arise.
Here is my poem, written as a humble tribute to all who served, and to those who continue to protect the light of peace for future generations.
Armistice Day - Lest We Forget...
by Adisha Kariyawasam (11/11/2025)
In fields where crimson poppies grow,
their petals whisper soft and low,
of those who gave, yet asked for naught,
in silent peace — lest we forget.
The morning dew, the setting sun,
recall the courage of each one.
Their memory blooms where tears once met,
a nation’s heart — lest we forget.
Though time may fade, the truth remains,
that love outlives all earthly pains.
Each poppy burns through grief and debt,
with hope renewed — lest we forget.
