 passing through review soldiers in dress uniforms march with precision the honor guard presents arms Old Glory in red white and blue John Philip Sousa stirs embers of fire’s passion old eyes swell with pride memories of battles fought prayers for those who lie silent tall and majestic big as mountains vast as plains rich in golden grain the American spirit a hymn to the republic Graphic: Kathryn Szoka Sousa:Aviators "I am not now that which I have been." |

This is a wonderful tribute to Memorial Day, and I sincerely hope that you post this on the main board, as it appears not too many people read poetry posted to holidays on the holiday board, which seems really strange, at least to me. Now...were I an American, which of course I am not...I would raise my little Memorial Day flag to you, as this was a wonderful tribute to Memorial Day, and a wonderfully done poem (p.s. I love Sousa, makes me want to march right on the spot!) ~*~ I write ~ Therefore I am ~*~ |

Beautiful tribute to Memorial Day. I enjoyed it.  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. |
