On Patches and Bears

I remember the day I patched
the patches
on Baby bear's face..
No ordinary patches, these--
salvaging his love-worn frame
and her sinking heart.
No, this was a careful weaving...
weaving of threads into the fragile
cloth of his being.
"He can't be mended again," I'd said,
but she'd insisted there must be
a way.
So, lovingly, I tended his wounds
until his face was a web of tangled threads
binding scraps of bulging foam.
She thanked me, then
kissed him
and proudly carted him off to kindergarten
for show-and-tell.
Overlooking his blemishes,
his disgrace,
his unsightly mask,
she presented him with honors before
her audience.
I'm sure he was the loveliest bear
in school.
Frayed Patches
Many are worn by life's
friction.
Their insecurities seep
from frayed
patches.
Why is it so hard to see
beyond
their imperfections?

We Served
Some of us were drafted,
Some did volunteer.
All of us did serve our land,
While others just stayed here.
We fought, we died, we gave support,
Both stateside and abroad.
They called us baby killers,
They called the war a fraud.
We were only soldiers,
We did what we were told.
Young men never came back home,
Young men now are old.
We served with pride the USA,
And all we ask of you.
Is sit and shut your rabid mouth,
Till you have served her too.
