Lost Memories ( Veteran's Day )
Life goes on.
Dreams fly past.
Memories of the fallen.
The tossing of leaves upon the grass.
When we tell our children all the reasons why.
When we are old we will sit and cry.
We only live because others did so die.
Stand now Gods children and know the reasons why.
It’s okay dear children go ahead and cry.
Chuck
Thank you all for your kindness here on RB. I have sent this to the Newspaper where I live. They seem to share my love in these times of need. I wrote this today and added this additional part with my submission.
I look back now. It seems not long ago. I was a younger man with no place to go. Our country was at battle. I need not name the foe. So many years have passed I am lost in it’s time and flow.
