Early Morning Yesterday


Memorial Day 2012
Dawn had just broke.

The sun was pushing back the clouds that had covered our town for the past three or four days. It was up far enough to lighten the sky, but not so far as to turn off the lamps.

The streets are still quite.

Monday; only a few would be stiring today, after all - it is a holiday.

Memorial Day.

In just a little while there will be marching bands and boy scouts, little league teams and the woman's auxaliary all participating in making some noise.

But for now; for this moment of dawn it's quite.

Time for me to remember Vincent and Shawn; Robert (Bobby) and Paul; and all those others.
