Theme Thursday: Angels

Matthew, Mark, Luke, John
Bless the bed that I lay on
All four corners round the bed
All four angels round my head



For more Theme Thursday:

 

Reflections on Memorial Day

Platitudes, 

We are full of them.

The attempt to comfort                                      

A loss too great to bear.

The attempt to justify

Actions unjustifiable,

Memories unbearable,

Pain unceasing.

Words unspoken

Which might have changed

The way things are

Hover in the air.

It's all terrible: the loss

Human sacrifice, suffering,

Sadness.  And the Masters of War 

keep their secret counsel.
