... you always hear about the red, white
and blue: what about purple that colors
pain? And what about black that brings
to mind the captive and the missing?
And what about the moments of misty
grey tears that fall for those who are no
longer here? And what about those who
have never seen the heat of war: what
value are we? The skins of those who've
served are all hues: or do you forget?
Out of sight, out of mind? Fly all of our
banners high, pray for rainbows of peace ...
Sorry I am so late, been super busy lately and now trying to catch up. Love your writing because it always rings so true, very touching, may we always remember. Flag hung in distess and it is wearing out these days....
compassion for country and for those who serve is very obvious in your poem Karla -- they both deserve all of the praise we can muster -- peace and love to you -- JMW
I don't like to think it Karla, byt for some people it is "out of sight and out of mind' We should remember them "In the rising of the sun and its going down" In the cold stillness of winter's chill
When we have special celebrations we want to to share,
as long as we live, they shall live too, for they are part of us - "We shall remember them"
Don't ever question you value my friend for it shows in this write as well as all the others you write. They touch hearts and heal wounds. You are a valued poetress. Love and hugs, Bonnie
Thank you for serving our country; our country is better because of brave men and women like you who felt they had a duty to do. And you did. You deserve a lot of respect, and people need to be getting on their knees, thanking God, thanking veterans, past, present, future, for their brave sacrifices! I will always remember, and I will always thank any veteran I see for their service. God bless you, Karla! Powerful poem you've written; very well done! BRAVA!
