Thanks all.
A prose I composed and sent to the editor of the Joplin Globe dedicated to the people of Joplin.
Dine With Me
Come dine with me, tell of yourselves so we may toast and talk of friendships and the hero's, lovers and drunkards we have been.
Spill your sorrow upon the table that we may drown them with glories and never have to unsheathe our reverend swords again, whilst hearts rest till the late morn.
The remembrance is always within and there abides the gallant we knew, the best of us echoing.
The light will bring to life and what is left will be magnanimity chosen.
Dedicated to the people of Joplin, MO, May 24th, 2011.
My home town since 1964 and graduate of JHS 1967.
