As I sit at my Al's gravesite today,
I can hear in the distance
the names and ranks of the men and women
who gave their lives in service to the United States of America.
I think of my own grief and loss and longing
and I think of those other widows and widower.
the sons and daughters,
the mothers and fathers,
the brothers and sisters
who sit at a gravesite today
profoundly missing
and I am deeply grateful!
