Congratulations to Jack Nichol, a grade 12 student at Barrie Central, who recently found out that his poem "Thanks to You" won First Place in the Royal Canadian Legion Poetry Contest, Senior Division. Here is Jack's poem:
Thanks to You
You gave your lives
Through pain and sorrow
For the lives of tomorrow
In the depths of hell
In the face of the enemy
Fighting for more than yourselves
Fighting for us
Fighting for protection
Fighting for freedom
Fighting for right
For life,
Life,
We all have one because of you
Thank you.
