We Shall Keep the Faith
by Moira Michael, November 1918 🌹

Oh you who sleep in Flanders Fields,
Sleep sweet - to rise anew!
We caught the torch you threw
And holding high, we keep the Faith
With all who died.

We cherish, too, the poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led;
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies,
But lends a lustre to the red
Of the flower that blooms above the dead
In Flanders Fields.

And now the Torch and Poppy Red
We wear in honour of our dead.
Fear not that ye have died for naught;
We'll teach the lesson that ye wrought
In Flanders Fields.

🕊️ Today we pay our respects to those who selflessly fought and continue to fight for our freedom. From their sacrifices, we live in peace. Lest we forget.

Travel light. Live light. Spread the light! 💡 Now that we've set our clocks back an hour, the days feel a little darker. A great way to get ahead of the seasonal sad is through adventure!

Travel has been linked to stress reduction and can alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression. Whether you’re going to another country or escaping for a long weekend in a nearby town, travelling can have a strong impact on your mental health.
