A Long Memorial Braid Poem by Bill Galvin

A Long Memorial Braid



On this weekend when we remember
The fallen… the lost… the loved… the silent;
And the courageous, both in war, and illness;
I recall a woman from the desert,
Whose hair was gray and past her waist…
She answers, "Braiding takes me only 2 minutes now."
And explains, "Not cut since my mother died in '99."
