VIMY 102 YEARS
I WEEP FOR MYSELF, I WEEP FOR THE DEAD OF OF VIMY APRIL 9 2017.
FOR I COULD NOT ATTEND,
I SO NEAR YET SO FAR I COULD NOT GO!
FOR, I FEEL SO SAD I MIGHT AS WELL HAVE DIED IN 1917.
THEN AT LEAST MY NAME WILL HAVE BEEN ETCHED WITH THE BRAVEST OF OUR CANADIAN DEAD UPON THE VIMY MONUMENTS HALLOWED STONE.
