The Bravest

THE BRAVEST the bravest feet stumble, stop.... again--again-- Dare travel treacherous roads--ignore the rain No thought for honor or for pain They bypass shortcuts filled with glory Content to walk a silent story The bravest feet Victoria Anderson-Throop 2013

There is something magnetic about this posting. I couldn't help but read it. It seems a bit late for Memorial day, but highly appropriate. I enjoyed, very much, the feeling it left. You may want to read "Ballad of Sammy Taylor" that I wrote to honor Memorial Day.... Love ya... Jake
