Memorial Day
time to give thanks and honor
those who gave their lives
They died to protect
the freedoms that we enjoy
please take a moment
Pause and consider
just how fortunate we are
to live in this place
For we are truly
blessed with so much abundance
compared to the rest
Let us be thankful
tomorrow is not promised
yesterday is gone
It should not matter
whether you are left or right
because in the end
We must remember
our forefathers wise advice:
United We Stand

Author Notes
Thanks to
Glynis Buschmann for the wonderful photograph, and
Royowen for helping me classify the difference between haiku and senryu.
Please be thankful for those who got up that morning not knowing that it would be their last day, leaving behind us who are in a perpetual state of mourning.
Peace be with you
Brother Badger
