UPON GOLDEN WINGS

Upon wings of golden
freedoms proudly proclaimed,
as once again I’m reminded
in such a powerful way
that those freedoms
I so often
take for granted
and enjoy
are mine only
and because
so many others
have paid the price.

And on this day
remembering
those who haven’t
yet come home,
I pray for peace
and their safe return
to their homes
and to these shores.
