...a remembrance for Memorial Day and always.
Boy to Man (a septet) The soldier a boy young and brave cares naught but to protect us trained to fight, yet fearful nonetheless wanting to safely come home Caught 'tween peace and war now a man. A Soldier's Five Senses Can you see me? I smile at the thought of you. Can you see me? I tremble at your sadness Can you hear me? I cry, yet I shed no tears. Can you hear me? I sigh, yet I try to have no fears. Can you touch me? My warmth is your embrace. Can you touch me? To my very soul, you are. Can you smell me? At times I do emit fear. Can you smell me? It is to you that I shed my glow. Can you taste me? It is your lips that keep me. Can you taste me? It is for you I must survive. � Jackie (Micke) Jinks, April 2003
