Remembrance

DAILY SNACK

There’s a fair to middling chance

(As my husband would say)

That I won’t be able to swing two minutes of silence at 11am today.

Oh, I’ll be able to shut up,

But it might be hard to get some good reflecting done

Under the barrage of, “Mommy! Mommy! Mommy!”

So I’ll take a couple minutes now

To remember the great sacrifices made by grandparent’s generation,

And hope that my children’s will never need to.
