The Remnants of Your Scent

THE REMNANTS OF YOUR SCENT

Yesterday you were just a flower growing from the Earth.

It’s not all about your beauty, but the remnants of your scent.

It’s that sweet intoxicating aroma you left to linger in the air.

As the rain and winds surround us, your fragrance still lingers there.

It’s not about the beauty of the flower that I want to see,

It’s all about your sweet aroma that intoxicates me.

Happy Veterans Day

Still Free

As we stand in the Vet’s cemetery on this Veterans Day,

and watch the flag dance in the breeze

as if to watch over all the men and women who have given their lives in such an honorable way,

So that we may all be free.

In a world with so much turmoil,

But yet,

We are still free.

Today is the day that we give thanks to all the veterans who have paved the way and thank them

Each and every morning because

Today we are free.

Still Free

11th Hour – 11th Day – 11th month
