| Veterans Day for Mom and Dad by © moon_grace For my mom and dad....my Veterans. moon_grace Tripping across my backyard into the cemetery, I used to watch the changing of the guard. Uniforms crisp there And at home. I see him with all the rest in the barracks, clowning around with the others, Here, he is in the plane encumbered by his parachute and pack... This is him still standing there in the Pentagon reaching out his hand for a certificate... She is only here once, One moment in time... A young woman standing in front of a tree, young, pretty, in uniform. Older faces now. Years have worn on them hard. But in a box are photographs… And in a heart, memories. Happy Veteran’s Day, Mom and Dad. Love… moon. |
