Memorial Day.
It brings us together
in all our own separate ways
to remember
those that we have lost.
Be they lost to war
or pandemic,
stacked and waiting
to be buried,
we mourn them all.
This year there are
all the more to remember
Too many more.

Yann,
Thank you so much for the read and comment. With the US having the highest death rate due to the Pandemic, this is not your usual Memorial Day. Especially when you consider we have lost more people to Covid-19 than we have to wars. Politics in America have become deadly. ~L

The numbers were getting larger and larger without any help from a pandemic being necessary, weren't they?  I dunno, I've made peace with where we all are going, though i still miss those who've made it there before me.

Michael,
I'm not ready to go yet, but I know my chances of survival are slim to none, same way for my husband. Trying to get my ducks in a row is like herding cats. ~L
