“Footsteps Growing Faint”

10/31/12

 

The distance increasing always

never seeming to get closer by

as clouds drifting in miles of sky

gone are too many yesterdays;

 

Soldiers treading the war zone

now resting in the graveyards

some in sleep others by shards

each their lives heroes known;

 

Footsteps growing faint in sound

where bands played marches oft

now heard taps and tattoo soft

a drum’s cadence now profound!
