“Some Far Away”cji
5/30/11
Visiting some old friends
quiet to the whispering
gently feeling the breeze
summer winds caressing
flowers and bees dressing
each scent striving to please
hearing silent whispering
far away as the trail ends;
Each veteran once known
family, friends/enemies too
paying tribute to them all
those who heard the call
to their beliefs ever true
with their colors shown;
Now some are far away
for us now older too far
unable now to visit all
always summer ends
goodbye to my friends
veterans who did fall
having earned their star
yet in my heart they stay!
