Again, thank you thereIam for the beautiful verse. I have many relations who are now gone, but who served our nation ... God bless them all.
There was another long poem by Rev. Dick Kozelka of Minneapolis that I love. I won't quote it all ... just the last few lines that I thought were so wonderful ...
We remember with compassion those who have died
serving their countries
in the futility of combat.
There is none of us but must come to bereavement and separation,
when all the answers we are offered
fail the question death asks of each of us.
We believe that you will provide for us
as others have been provided with the fulfillment of
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." |
