Memorial Day
My midweek photo post is early this week--and also doesn't have any photos.
Not "Happy" Memorial Day ... although I suspect I've unconsciously been guilty of that one.
It's funny how these tombstones so seldom display race, class, or political leanings.
From the Chain O' Lakes Festival Parade, several years ago.
... "Just beyond, in solemn silence,
Stands a column, broad and deep,
Carved with many a name and emblem
Of those who for their country sleep.
While above a waiting soldier
With his musket by his side,
Guards for aye this lonely city,
Heeding naught of time or tide.
Here, within these peaceful dwellings,
Free from sorrow, care or pain
Waiting till that morning dawneth
When the dead shall rise again - "
(from poem by Elizabeth Hamrick, 1885)
There's nothing I could add to this.
