Habbeshaw By Carol Sullivan Robert Houston, Western Leg- d, self-supportin- During this memorial weekend, my thoughts were with the loved ones who are gone from our sight, but are imprinted in the vision of our memories. The flags waving in the cemeteries on such a blue sky day, most awesome to see. The patriotic arrangements on the grave of an old soldier seemed most appropriate. I have written this particular poem in honor of three of my personal heros: Bob Spencer, my brother sewed in Vietnam; Tony Chatterley, who also sewed v in Vietnam; and my father Ferret Spencer, who sewed in World War II. . Americas Cloning By Myrna Cox Youve heard of recent cloning, of a beauty rare to see, But, why not clone Old Glory and what she used to be. Why not clone a million tears in every single eye? Let us clone the look of pride when she passes by. We could clone the Veterans who came from Vietnam, and even clone some arms and legs lost in that strange land. Let us clone the loved ones, who reached for those who came from Hitlers land and battle fields, limping home again. Let us clone Washington who crossed the Delaware, who cried for his little troop-col- d and freezing, there. Let us clone Abe Lincoln, his honor and his deeds, And clone the patriotic love, in youth as sprouting seeds. t Let us clone in every heart, a gratitude for life In remembering the Heros who died in battles strife. May we clone America and how she used to be, The home of eypry Patriot, the brave the true, and free. Let us clone each American who kneels by heros grave, And clone the honor felt within, of the country that he saved. Clone a strong commitment, to remember all who "lay Beneath the sod, under God, for this land the U.S A. g. said that volunteer efforts |
