Imperfect Prose - Day of Remembrance

The fog was chased away
at last
by snow
descending
through the night
a blanket, clean
fresh, sparkling
awaited morning's
rising light
and in the muffling
of noise
silence honors
and recalls
those who fell
and those who stand
to purchase freedom
for us all.

As we remember and pay tribute to those who gave their lives, spend time today in worship of the One Who gave His life, One life for all, forever, eternally.

Lest we forget.

Even as [truly as] the Father knows Me and I also know the Father--and I am giving My [very own] life and laying it down on behalf of the sheep.
