About This Poem

The Watch

Assuming the watch
Among the fallen heroes
Symbolic eagle
Touching American hearts
A patriotic sun rise

    Many a watch has been witnessed Vince, and many a watch will continue to be witnessed. And the sun will continue to grace the fallen, a sun they so deserved to see in a lifetime. Many thanks for your kind comments. Have a most lovely weekend :)

    This amazing photograph indeed, does touch the American hearts, or hearts of anyone who has lost a loved one in war. Lately, it stirs up my thoughts of our recently lost Navy Seal heroic troops, my grandson, (now in the Navy)...has high hopes on becoming one. God protect and bless each brave young man out there. Nice to see you here! :)

    So many amazing entries, Vince, and yours is among them. (Wonder how that "box" got in the third line.) Congratulations on your win in the Bald Eagle in the Cemetery contest! I judged blindly and there were many great entries, so you should feel proud. Love, Carolyn
