WE WATCH

Stones stand silent as sentinels,

Observant obelisks opposing oblivion,

Watching where the warriors are waiting,

Lying in lofty labyrinths of loam,

Monuments many – to military memory,

Protecting our patrons of pride and patriotism,

Grass – gently growing in grades of green,

The sky silently sees the saviours of state,

The boy brings a bouquet of bright beauty,

Fondly – father is found in forested fields,

Basking in beauty both breathtaking and bold,

Serene scenery set in soft surroundings,

Remembered – reposed – retired – regarded reverantly,

Gray glyphs of gentle granite greet,

Attend the anthem of all America!

Waiting with these wondrous works – we watch!
