Memorial Day Table

I set this table
for all of the service men and women
who have given us such great freedoms.

  Men and women

who have protected us

and continue to keep us

safe from harm.

 Men such as my father, my brother, my cousins, my friends.

Women such as my classmate Michelle.

When I found these plates at ARC Thrift months ago

I knew that I would be using them for this

table today.

 The steel blue gray 

made me think of

the dress uniforms of 

the brave men and women 

in the armed services.

Candles standing straight and tall.

Light fare to be offered.

 A table set

to welcome them home.

Flowers and flags 

in remembrance

to those that gave all.

A simple toast to

each and every one of them.

Thank you.
