I got inspired to write a little something for Memorial Day. Please read...

[Maroon Baboon]

Nice. I don't think we think of, or do enough for families of the fallen. It is a tough life and they have given everything.

I Hear America Crying

I hear America crying, those varied sorrows I hear.

Those of the daughters as they text their friends, and
Those of the sons who vow to make amends.

I hear America crying.

Those of the wives who will never see life the same,
and those of the husbands whose emotions are down the drain.

I hear America crying.

Those of the fathers who wished the had offered better guidance,
Those of the mothers who can't bear the silence.

I hear America crying.



I hope Walt Whitman will excuse me this time but I had to do it.
