Lafayette Crosses

A sea of white washes over, with specks of red and blue.
A star shines amidst the ocean, with a moon just behind
Green life surrounds the sky above
Clouds breeze by with their cheerful smile
I walk down the line meeting one by one
Touching my brow as I pass
Sometimes I cry, at other times I kneel
I also stand in respect, and honor
Sometimes when I look there is a face
Of a man I never knew, but I knew
He is always a kind man, with a heart of gold
The tales he told would mesmerize me
I find myself wishing I was there
To help, to hold, to love
He shakes in the wind
What’s done is done
Sometimes a woman would show her face
Tear stricken, lined with sweat.
I’d open my arms to her
She’d smile and nod.
No, go… live.
