A poem was created for those New Zealanders who gave their lives for our country. It was created by John MCcrae and it is called Flanders Fields. This poem made me feel sad because the soldiers had to leave their love ones behind. I also feel sad for those parents who lost their children in the war but I feel proud to be New Zealander.
