the lush of green

brilliant colors in bloom

flowers of divine grace

silence in a serenade of spirit

a visit to the waters at the Piermont Pier 

homage with heart's smile 

monument in honor of OUR VETERANS

words read aloud, their calling felt

the American Flag holding to the glowing sun 

gentle winds creating waves of light

the ambient orchestra

stirring water, soft sounding wind

the rustle of the tall grasses

song birds in choral splendor

a pause, a sigh, a deep breath.

OUR VETERANS

'Tis the vision of freedom and valor within souls we hail

Homage, gratitude to OUR VETERANS ever, ever, to prevail

The gifts of LIFE with vision blessed and bold

This the giving within each Veteran's story told

In reverent celebration of OUR VETERANS, their sacrifices made

To defend our freedoms and liberties our founding fathers laid.
