Lest We Forget

During this Memorial Day weekend, take a moment of silence to remember the sacrifices made by our men and women who have died in service to their country - and for their families, left behind -


Poem Artwork

The clouds are silent
as they fly over
in formation.  Far
below, white crosses
march across green fields
of honor --- and a
daughter's tears fall like
rain, lest we forget.

(c) 2008, Karla Dorman (5/25)

The white arrows, silent, pointing straight up to Heaven's gate. Memorials to our fallen heroes. What compensation in kind can we offer up to them? Your tribute runs through the unanswered questions in my mind. JMW

Let the bagpipe wail the sorrow, not for their deads, but for the forgetfulness that buried them twice.

We must never forget! We each live the life that we do because of those who put themselves in harm's way to protect our freedoms. Lovely, Karla, short and very much to the point.
Take care,

And there are so many of those white crosses to Honor scattered across the battlefields of earth...such touching imagery here with the silent "clouds" now in contrast to the thunder of war planes then...and the daughters' tears of rain. You're so good short!
