Memories of Anzac flood my mind. The Anzac days of my childhood where immense letters were written in fresh flowers across the front school lawn. Anzac days where I watched with pride, my elderly grandfather marching with his newly shined medals glistening in the early dawn sun. He had joined his comrades that fought with him in the bloodied trenches of France in W.W.1.
Memories of Anzac in Melbourne where I would watch in awe, army bands, troops marching with precision and the sound of the twenty-one gun salute.
Memories of Anzac in Hamilton, where I would be rising before light to a pea souper fog that hugged the streets and battled the dawn. Slowly and quietly, I would follow the elderly veterans who marched to the beat of the drum along Anzac Parade across the bridge to Parana Park. Fields of waving poppies would have been placed on the damp grass to greet the veterans. The silent crowd would stand to attention like soldiers as the dignitaries spoke and sang. The Last Post would haunt our minds.
Anzac Day 2020 is now another memory. Candlelight flickered in driveways, along fence lines and lined footpaths just before dawn. Neighbours stood still and quietly in their driveways. Over a loudspeaker Anzac poems were read, a rousing haka was performed by our neighbours across the road and the National Anthem was sung with gusto. Stillness and silence engulfed the solemn crowd as the bugle played the Last Post that signalled the end of another Anzac Service.
These services unite people in their remembrance of those who sacrificed their lives for us.

Mum
Your eyes sparkle
Like a bright star
When you see your family.
Your mouth radiates a smile
As large as the sun
As you proudly watch
Your children attempt something new.
Your voice is kind and calming
When we fall and hurt ourselves.
Your hands are as soft as
A rabbit's fur
When you hold our hands
While going for a walk.
Your arms are strong and comforting
When they wrap me up
Like a cocoon.
Happy Mother's Day.
I love you mum
Forty four million times
Around the world.
Write your poem on paper or card ready to give your mother or caregiver on Mother's Day. Happy Writing.
