where creative minds can interact
Memorial Day
So many smiles on their faces
Not a word spoken of the dark places
Gathered quietly at the lost and found
Waiting patiently not making a sound
The train arrives and the doors open wide
Arms held out for the loved ones who've arrived
Tear stained faces show how much they were missed
Soldiers finally getting that welcome home kiss
A lone soldier stands looking over the crowd
Such a solemn look till he hears her cry his name out loud
A path opens making way for the young lovers
They run unaware of all the others
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Displays such as this leaves no reason to ponder
If one could harness the love in the scene
It would soften the heart of the meanest of the mean
The longing to hear the voice or see their face
Letters and cards could never replace
Missing their arms around them at night
Praying and hoping they survive the fight
No one is an island, they must not stand alone
It's hard to stay focused with loved ones at home
As we honor all of those that pay the price
Those that do what they do never thinking twice
There aren't words that can effectively display
All the love and remembrance on this Memorial Day
