Poem
From the past days of old. At Seventh Street & Florence Avenue. Vehicles in pristine finished. Bragging Rights Mint Condition. Proudly rolled by in a yearly tribute. Very close behind did the present. Spanking brand new, Virgilina's, VA. Town's first responders debut their life- saving vehicles of rescue. Summer Fest proudly displayed. Awesomely colored painted fine cars. Including trucks and plowing tractors. The drivers and passengers. Cheerfully waived tossing smiles and candy. I watched so many of the children laughing. Enjoying themselves while playfully. Scrambling to grab all and as many. Of the tossed free candies. So very comforting it was to see. Neighbors, visitors, friends and family. Witnessing together. Standing side by side In such a loving comradely. History and our future. Embracing one another. In supreme harmony. Refreshing the supportive celebration. Veterans from old world wars of our past. Keeping close in step were our gallant; soldiers of wars in our present time. Today's events were also in celebration. Of the soldiers whom honorably. Transitioned to a much peaceful home. This was a very lovely quick get away. Cotton candy, home made ice cream. Scenie's Old-fashioned Peanut Brittle. Freshly squeezed lemonade. How fortunate to meet Ms Marion Woods. Author of Uncle Jerdon's Farm Children' Book. Thanks to my cousin Natarsha. I am experiencing a very lovely. Memorial Weekend Holiday. My Uncle Joe Lassiter our beloved Veteran. His daughter and my cousin Andrea Miller. Stood in the longest line waiting patiently. For what I learned was the town's best. Brunswick Stew. It's evening now I sit here as one. Within this blissful time in nature. Pleasantly at peace. Relaxed taking in the beauty. Of this picturesque piece of land. Reflectively pondering. On on this lovely day. I joyfully have a writing instrument. Very close at hand.
