Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

As History's Made

In the heat of the action
   shots ringing out
When the battle is pitched
   'midst cries and shouts

As history's made
   and heroes emerge
Retreats and advances
   tides turn and surge

Now's no time for fleeting
   thoughts' introspection ~ 
The story retold
   enriches reflection

P.S. Awtry October 10, 2019 at 12:06 PM I guess this is why they say hindsight is 20/20--you are right in the heat of the battle there's no time for philosophising and analyzing. This would be a nice preface in a history book. :) Gershon Wolf October 10, 2019 at 1:50 PM What a great idea, P.S., about using this a preface... Of course, now all you have to do is write that history book for it. LOL. Seriously, thank you so much for the idea. Warm wishes, Gershon
