Finally...the last one for my little book. Hope you enjoy. Sure am glad that project is done...Yuck! Good to be back and read all of you again. I miss ya'll!
Remember When

Sunlight warmed a weathered cheek today,
dancing upon the heartstrings of
this troubled patriot soul.

Amidst the chaos of our time,
and the fading of our fabric,
shame beckons me, “Remember…”

Remember when…
Time stood still,
if for only a day while we wept,
and our beloved souls rose
above half-mast flags.

Remember when…
Patriot hearts sang
in defiance, unified,
while streaming standards
of red, white, and blue
steadied on our porches,
and danced upon the winds
of our precious highways,
and back-road byways.

Remember when…
Your flag failed to unfurl,
Tears dried up,
and lost souls began to fade?

Remember when?

Amidst the chaos of our time,
and the fading of our fabric,
shame beckons me, “Remember…”

Kevo,

   It's so good to read your poetry again!  It seems like forever since you were here...
Great to have you back again.

   I really enjoy the depth of your thinking and the wonderful poetry it brings.
