Military Honors

Who
can
hear “Taps”—
the bugle’s
solemn, drawn-out notes—
and not feel tears come to their eyes,
not have their hearts swell,
not shiver
or sigh?
Not
I.


My dad served in the U.S. Navy as a submariner, and “Taps” was played at the cemetery. Prayers for all who have served or are serving in the military. Peace to all ♥s!
