GOING TO THE GONE A checklist for Memorial Day by Greg Asimakoupoulos May 23, 2008 Go look in on your children still asleep within their bed. Remind yourself they're safe and warm because of some long dead. Go for a walk through cemeteries lined with little flags. Take time to ponder homebound heroes flown in body bags. Go stand between those granite stones engraved with names and dates. Imagine all who died defending our United States. Go on and kneel beside a marker offering a prayer with gratitude for those who gave their lives defeating terror. Go home and count your blessings from the hands of those now gone. Then vow to the Almighty that their mem'ry will live on. Also found here. The following note applies to this poem: Copyright 2008 Greg Asimakoupoulos.
