A Life Like No Other

Today We Remember The sun shines brightly over our town today The sky is blue And the wind is low The streets are quiet And the bears are hidden The birds are perched And the vehicles are parked Today we remember We remember the sacrifices made so many years ago The lives that were lost and the lives that were cherished So many of us have been taught about this day The day the world went silent The day the last solider fell Today we remember We remember November 11th Today is our remembrance day Monica Robinson~ 2012    

When the temperature drops The skies will clear and the bears will roam The sun in shinning, the temperature well below zero The snowmobiles are out Dressed as warm as possible people waddle like penguins Trying not to slip on the ice The wind has finally subsided The after affects of the blizzards now clearly seen Flag trees and buildings slightly covered with snow Ice has begun to form on the Bay The snow drifts are solid and beautifully shaped A perfect photo opportunity Bear, fox, and hare tracks are visible amongst the snow Standing here I smile There isn’t a more beautiful place I’d rather be The passenger train has just arrived New guests smile at the sight they are presented with Welcome to Churchill Monica Robinson November 10, 2012 Churchill, Manitoba
