What do you think this poem is about?

To Remember the Fallen

to remember the fallen
is not to remember how they fell
but to remember why and for what

to remember the fallen
is not only to remember their actions
but to remember the dream for which they fought

to remember the fallen
is not to remember how they fought
but to remember who they fought for

to remember the fallen
is to remember their reason
to remember their dreams
and to remember those they fought to save

to remember the fallen
we continue their fight
we carry their dreams
and we finish what they start

    Oh my gosh, that was beautiful! Even though I don't know someone who has died in war, I feel like I have a connection. Thank you for sharing your amazing poem, it was an awesome experience to read it.
