Listen to poem:
Young Eagles
Young Eagles
David J Walker
A Roll Call of names
A muster of formation
The appearance of attention
To details
Memories and visions
In sedulous frames
All that remains
Though memory so often
Fails
Lessons learned in
Salutes returned
Each in context of
when
and why
Deny
the passage of time
you may
refrain from giving the day
a name
And learn how
not to cry
Once upon a ceremony
When young Eagles
Learned to fly
