THIS POEM IS FOR YOU ON THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND
FOR THOSE WHO SEEM TO BE ALWAYS ONE OR TWO STEPS BEHIND Chasing The Earth's Morning Sun I was awakened this sun-kissed morning, With fog in my heart, and an hour or so too late; For Earth's golden sun had already majestically risen, And had begun its daily, busy, creative slate.
