>>Lest We Forget, by Terry Kelly
>>
>>On November 11, 1999 Terry Kelly was in a Shoppers Drug Mart store in
>>Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. At 10:55 AM an announcement came over the store's
>>PA asking customers who would still be on the premises at 11:00 AM to
>>give two minutes of silence in respect to the veterans who have
>>sacrificed so much for us.
>>
>>Terry was impressed with the store's leadership role in adopting the
>>Legion's "two minutes of silence" initiative. He felt that the store's
>>contribution of educating the public to the importance of remembering was
>>commendable.
>>
>>When eleven o'clock arrived on that day, an announcement was again made
>>asking for the "two minutes of silence" to commence. All customers, with
>>the exception of a man who was accompanied by his young child, showed
>>their respect.
>>Terry's anger towards the father for trying to engage the store's clerk
>>in conversation and for setting a bad example for his child was later
>>channeled into a beautiful piece of work called, "A Pittance of Time".
>>Terry later recorded "A Pittance of Time" and included it on his
>>full-length music CD, "The Power of the Dream".
>>
>>In the interest of creating a greater awareness of the sacrifices that
>>have been made and are still being made on our behalf, "A Pittance of
>>Time" has been adapted to the French language and titled "C'est si peu de
>>temps".

>>They fought and some died for their homeland.
>>They fought and some died, now it's our land.
>>Look at his little child; there's no fear in her eyes.
>>Could he not show respect for other dads who have died?
>>
>>Take two minutes, would you mind?
>>It's a pittance of time,
>>For the boys and the girls who went over.
>>In peace may they rest, may we never
>>forget why they died.
>>It's a pittance of time.
>>
>>God forgive me for wanting to strike him.
>>Give me strength so as not to be like him.
>>My heart pounds in my breast, fingers pressed to my lips,
>>My throat wants to bawl out, my tongue barely resists.
>>
>>But two minutes I will bide.
>>It's a pittance of time,
>>For the boys and the girls who went over.
>>In peace may they rest.
>>May we never forget why they died.
>>It's a pittance of time.
>>
>>Read the letters and poems of the heroes at home.
>>They have casualties, battles, and fears of their own.
>>There's a price to be paid if you go, if you stay.
>>Freedom's fought for and won in numerous ways.
>>
>>Take two minutes, would you mind?
>>It's a pittance of time,
>>For the boys and the girls all over.
>>May we never forget, our young become vets.
>>At the end of the line,
>>It's a pittance of time.
>>
>>It takes courage to fight in your own war.
>>It takes courage to fight someone else's war.
>>Our peacekeepers tell of their own living hell.
>>They bring hope to foreign lands that hate mongers can't kill.
>>
>>Take two minutes, would you mind?
>>It's a pittance of time,
>>For the boys and the girls who go over.
>>In peacetime our best still don battle dress
>>And lay their lives on the line.
>>It's a pittance of time
>>
>>In peace may they rest,
>>Lest we forget why they died.
>>Take a pittance of time.
