The Christmas Truce by Kathryn Louise Sugg Willard
But the nature of War is to fight,
And it did not stay far from that night.
The Christmas Truce soon became a memory.
100 years hence, and we all now see
They had something special that we must find
For the world to share with all mankind.
And it did not stay far from that night.
The Christmas Truce soon became a memory.
100 years hence, and we all now see
They had something special that we must find
For the world to share with all mankind.
Christmas Truce Poem by VFP Member Gerry Kamke
While old-veterans like me are kind of waiting for snow.
It didn’t snow in Southeast Asia and I didn’t get cold,
A big old snow-storm would have felt as special as gold.
We’re into the 100th year of this truce,
That’s special and I wish it could be wrapped all up in Spruce.
In 1914 British and German soldiers on that special day,
Stopped fighting on the western front - just to pray.
The concept caught-on and I wish it could last,
But today’s wars are continuous and seem never in the past.
I pray the tradition continues all over the world,
And bullets plus bombs are no longer hurled!
