D-Day
Today I’m watching tennis –
It’s the Open set in France –
And while I cheered my favorites
As they won and could advance…
It struck me that it’s D-Day
And in 1944,
The Allies, under Ike,
Attacked the Nazis in the war.
They stormed the beach at Normandy
In a surprise attack.
Though many died, the tide was turned,
The enemy turned back.
In France right now, the focus
Is on what is current news –
The Covid curfew and the players
Giving interviews.
But on the beach at Normandy
Some veterans still met
To honor those who gave their lives
Whom we should not forget.
