Beaver Street in the Village of Sewickley, PAs dressed with flags Black & white POW flags - and the red, white and blue - all flying true Flowers of late spring and early summer bursting with life for me & you And the majestic sun in the sky blue sky - radiating its magnificence Leaves of trees and blades of grass like green currency to spend fast People pleasantly calling, "hello," "good morning," "have a good day" Oh, I wouldn't have it any other way and I rest my espresso filled head Against the Starbucks' window while leaning back on a wooden bench I stare across the street at the red brick, blue sky, sun and waving flag Wow, feeling this peace, love, light, freedom is mine = Here in the USA And whether believing in war or not it does not stop me from being glad That I live a protected life because of soldiers, officers and intelligence And I can be who I am without oppression and persecution because of Lives laid down in sacrifice and one thing, at least, is to remember today Memorial Day May 28, 2007 Best of the Roses, John French mystrawhat.com http://www.mystrawhat.com Everyday There's Something MySpace URL http://www.myspace.com/112226092 StrawHat Productions
