Quickie..prompt posted (Gold pays forward please)

Before I take my morning walk I log onto AP check my messages and glance at my favorites poems.......

 

 

 

I was moved by this and have taken it in two perspectives....

my heart was touched...... as was it written for his country?

Or was it written for a loved one?

 

 

 

 

I am now going for my morning walk. When I return I will judge this if all ten spots are filled and everyone has written something.

 

 

 

 

Here is the prompt......off the Authors page, http://allpoetry.com/InBetweenThoughts

 

Look at what is written below the flag, ponder for a moment then give your thoughts in 20 words.....I'll be back in an  hour..... it is 5:45 am EST ....Best wishes....KingofAllKings
