“A Salute”

“A Salute”

5/28/11

Each season each year
someone sheds a tear
without any known fear
seeing the veil sheer;

Veterans see all clear
past, present, futures
life/liberty/family dear
precious is the sutures;

Sacrificing one’s life
giving of some or all
remember all the strife
answering freedom’s call;

Thus a salute for each
flags flying half-mast
our veterans to reach
freedom’s highest caste!
