Belated Pearl Harbor Day

The Stone

(by R.P.Edwards)

Names

At first

With meaning

Mourned 

And grieved 

As loved ones

Lost

But time

Removes

The tie

Of skin

And blunts

The awful 

Cost

Most of my "Pearl Harbor" day was spent at work. So, what should have been published on the 7th, is now assigned to 8.

Nothing new here. The farther from the conflict, the sacrifice, the pain; the more blurred the lines. There are few World War IIers left. And, the "values" of that generation are also weakening.

Enough said. Following is a song written with the Greatest Generation in mind. Rather long, but there's a lot to say.
