There are flowers Growing in a marble field At the edge of town Red White Blue Planted by loving hearts Trembling hands Placing each solitary stem As their single petal Brought to full beauty By the summer wind Announces those who sacrificed Because of their resolve They would bring justice To those for whom It was but a dream These flowers bloom brightly Thrice upon the year Spring Summer Fall Enabling their pride Yet not denying A nation grateful Was an abstract thought For those left behind By duty's call

Ringo~ 'an abstract thought For those left behind By duty's call' I so enjoyed the imagery I found in the read of this~ *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Planted by loving hearts Trembling hands Placing each solitary stem As their single petal Brought to full beauty By the summer wind ~*~ to echo in colored revery... Well done, Sir. |
