memorial day.

spent the day w.my family traveling from the old neighborhood cemetery to country cemetery decorating the graves of my ancestors... moments to remember their journey and their tales... a time to reflect on memories w.my grandparents and the stories they told of the people they lay next to now...
green sods are all their monuments; and yet it tells
a nobler history than pillared piles,
or the eternal pyramids.
