This poem makes me feel sad and lucky.
I feel sad because when it says In Flanders
fields the poppies blow Between the crosses,
row on row, I get an image of so many crosses
representing the soldiers who fought just to make
sure that our home (New Zealand) was safe.
I also feel Lucky because I believe that without all
those soldiers our country wouldn't be safe. Also
because I live in a very safe country which makes
me very grateful and Lucky.
