The sky an azure blue, the sun
ever so brilliant, the American and POW Flags touched by the gentle wind. This
the setting at the Walkway of American Heroes, Tappan, New York, Memorial Day
2015. As I saw all those in honorable
uniform, holding yet to service and vision, and heard the tributes, the
gestures silently spoke of love of country, of love of GOD. And so it is...
A
salute, hand to brow, a vision of freedom ever to share
A
pledge, hand to heart, a knowing of sacrifices and care
A
prayer, hand to hand in loving grace
Gestures
they be, the knowing of God's embrace.
