Lou J. Klaiber

AND SO MAY YOU REMEMBER…

that so many ended their days
long ago

alone
and now forgotten.

We are naught
but glazed shadows
beside their courage.

The road is long
dark and winding
to places that seem dark
and lonely
and not
at home.

I shoulder the weapon
of my Brothers,
and walk that road
that leads to some kind of
lonely, forgotten home.

I worry not!

I shall never
be alone.
