Amazing Grace

This Christmas morning, a lone piper played at Veterans Memorial Park: Amazing Grace. The haunting sound was tribute and lament, and a gift to us who passed. December 25, 2018

Amazing Grace...its melody, its salvation - a gift to us all. A beautiful tribute to all fallen veterans. The song was played as I walked with my parents behind my Grandma’s coffin so I can relate to the haunting sound...the lovely song. Great one, Agnes!
