An offering to share
Tell us the right and left
Surviving in this world
Grant us the peace and hope
Into the path we’re hurled

An offering to share
Not knowing who to trust
Or being trapped into
Please guide us what to do
Before we say adieu

An offering to share
A strip of paper
A list of things to do
Still to act or say
To all for what is due

An offering to share
It’s waving like a flag
To forgive and forget
Atonement for the soul
Love is what blooms beget*

It is rare that I get treated to such luxury. I might as well take a nap before the real owner arrives. “Bow-wow”, it is time to move away quietly. https://only100words.xyz/2019/12/26/three-line-tales-week-204/

Constructing a memorial is no mean task. Each stone speaks the story of ideals, values, sacrifices, suffering and pride. The stories of those the warriors left behind are heart-breaking.
