Haiku Friday: Memorials
Yesterday I got off the highway looking for gas and ended up at the Great Lakes National Cemetery. It is on rolling hills near Holly, Michigan.
I walked quietly among the headstones and found myself amazed at the diversity and bravery in this country. I became fascinated by the faiths represented among those who served our country; you can see a full list of the available symbols here. The symbol chosen by Norris Ward Browner, for example is that of the Native American Church of North America. I passed many of the others as I wandered the green hills of the cemetery.
Memorials to the dead are important in many societies, and have deep meaning. Let's haiku about that this week.

Margarita, mourned
from Cuba to Assisi.
All her bushes bloom.
(We bought this house from Margy when she went to live with her daughter, and I get to enjoy what she planted in her garden every day.)
