>>I put this poem in my memories for that reason.<<

That's delightful to hear.

>> Also, I have a little book that I keep some poems I really like in-- would you mind if I copied this one into it too? <<

By all means, go ahead.

You're welcome to request more history-themed poems from me if you like this sort of thing in general; next Poetry Fishbowl will be April 2 with a theme of "fantasy in other eras."
