Our great bird.

The Guard

by Willie P. Smith

I saw a picture the other day,
Stones of our fallen, in perfect array.

The many stones stood in silent mass,
Covering the ground and dotting the grass.

At the top of a stone, marking a warrior's grave,
Stood a lone bald eagle guarding the brave.

He stood silently, looking all around.
A lone sentinel guarding the ground.

The photo spoke loudly, not saying a word.
Our heroes were being honored by this great bird.

This is a terrific picture. It should draw every one's attention. Don't know who took it, but it spoke volumes to me. Sorry, it didn't come out so clear.
