It was a treat to open up my computer and see the cute teddy bears here!

Today's poem:

.

We Don’t Die

We are the young and the fearless,
The nimble, and bright of eye.
We are the Force of the Future,
And the ones whose first step is the sky.

We are around you always,
We pester a bit under foot.
But we are the dreams that you’ve lived for,
And where all your life’s hope has been put.

We are an army of innocents,
Filled with bright hope for our tasks.
We stand here in rows and in columns,
Just waiting for that which Life asks.

Like the waves against rocks at the beachhead,
Where some plumes then ascend to the sky,
Some may transform into angels,
But the rest of us surge right on by.

More than daily we charge to the shore,
As we break down the rocks into sand,
To destroy not just Death but his minions,
Who had thought they could make a firm stand.

We’ll be here when you have surrendered,
To catch up the flag that may fall.
We’ll be here. We will always be waiting,
We’ll be here to answer the call.
