Being this is Memorial Day weekend, instead of something supernatural, I am pisting my original poem. It is copyrighted, so don't copy it and paste it on Facebook or a forum, but share the link instead. That way, others can come here and not only enjoy the poem, but may know of the valiant heroes among our midst.
Warrior Not Forgotten
By
Pamela K. Kinney
Rest, dear Veteran,
You fought so hard.
Struggling through
jungle,
desert sands, and
mountainous range
Rode in ships on choppy
seas,
Danger from U-boats below
or enemy planes above.
Enemy faces peeping from
green foliage,
Massive tanks rolling over
dunes of sand:
You're someone's father,
mother,
brother, sister or friend;
Somebody known somewhere,
And yet, a lonely
cross marks your grave.
A flag fluttering in
the wind is your only companion,
It's all we know of one
soldier, sailor or airman.
One tear shed, one heart
broken,
But one life not given in
vain.
