This poem deeply resonates with me as it embodies courage, hope, unity, and the principle of leaving no one behind in challenging times. It powerfully illustrates that, as a nation, we may bend but will never break. Reading it brought a profound sense of sadness, yet ultimately filled me with hope as I reflected on that day. Great poems Darren!
