The Parade of Duty
If you want to be inspired,
Spend half an hour sitting in the lobby,
Of the local veterans hospital,
Watch the parade of duty and sacrifice,
Coming and going to appointments.
Veterans young and old,
Many on crutches, or in wheelchairs, missing limbs.
One day I say a young vet with an old vet in tow.
They were both in wheelchairs.
To me, that lobby is a sacred place.
