It is not in parades or days

In hearts that burst with gratitude	 
And...

November first, day of the dead
Full of traditions, honoring the fallen
We light a red candle at sunset
Lay a table of food for the deceased
Eat sugar skulls, signifying bringing dead to life within ourselves
Masks and signs are paraded in a festival’s procession
Celebrating the cycle of life...

Pall bearers in uniforms, tall and erect,
                         Taps resonating; eerie, their profound lament.

I get up on the stage
do my act.
The rest is 
up to the audience.

When I die
I will face the Judge
salute and say the lines
Don Schaeffer reporting as ordered
Sir. The General will turn
in an abbreviated answer to my salute
and dismiss me....

If my hair could talk to God above miraculously 
It would express praises and thanks to Him joyfully
For His grace, mercy and love shown constantly
Flowing along His provisions’ banks abundantly!

Yes, my hair would delight in God for cleansing water
Reminding His Word’s sanctifying power
Along His forgiveness...

Don’t suppose the victory was yours alone
The laurels you wear proudly a solo affair,
For in you are the talents of your ancestors
Much teaching from others residing there

The encouragement of your loving peers
Urging applause you received along the way
Those who trained you and buoyed you up

Ever wonder what difference it might make
To relinquish a trophy for someone else's sake
Who needs a win in their life right then
When you have a history of getting the win?

He stands, mocking, full of his worth
and crowned by stinging opinion
He’s won. By one.

‘Not even one whole point’ I want to say
to everyone - ‘by a rounding error.’

We rejoice in wooden dialogue
snaps are fired, content is captured
I feel ridiculous and awkward

As the great pageant ends,
