I Hear, I See, I Wonder
© r.meuser 12/30/06
As I stand before the military graves
of our fallen heroes:
I can hear,
The bugler’s tribute
echo across a field
of white stone markers
aligned in a straight lined formation.
Seven riflemen fire in respect
of the deceased.
I can see,
The flag for which they fought
folded and presented to a loved one.
No greater gift
can a man give to his nation
but his life for freedom’s cause.
I wonder,
How many more times
must our flag drape a coffin –
rifles fire in honor –
and taps mournfully play?
