A day
Softly creeping
Stretching, yawning
People sleeping
...
“Grandpa that looks silly”
She said looking at my wall
A baseball cap was hanging there
With a dozen flags in all
...
Sleep now, sleep long,
Close your weary eyes.
Put away the sound of death,
Ignore the woeful cries
...
When I stop and look
At the man I’ve become.
My accomplishments meager
In the minds of some.
