Normandy

She was standing

on the porch

that day in June

watching her youngest

come running up the steps

and across the lawn

when it happened

on the beach

at Omaha

where her oldest lay,

face down, no longer

clawing at wet sand.

She stood there, quiet,

holding him

close,

fingering his hair.

Welcome to the "In the News" board.


Thank you for the tender poem.


At the weekend I watch a beautiful movie, on TV,
