A LIFETIME

by Susan Supley


A lifetime ago the blonde flower child/woman smiled at a grim faced
soldier as she placed a daisy in the muzzle of his upended rifle.
Today she clutched a folded flag from the casket of her grandson to her breast.


Susan Supley lives in New Port Richey, Florida. Not having to work for a living she is able to live as a poet. She posts some work at aturtlespeaks.blogspot.com and anotherturtlespeaks.blogspot.com.
