On D-Day our thoughts

Remembering D-Day, the Sixth of June,
1944: On D-Day our thoughts are on Normandy's shores where thousands gave all
bringing freedom ashore. To those who in peace
rest on Normandy's banks and also to those who survived, we owe thanks.
So little they ask for so much that they give so we may in freedom
continue to live, that more than a "thank you"
to them we must give. The "more" they would want is not "something" to give:
It's what's given best by our lives when we live in ways to be worthy
of all they did give.
The "everyman" Private named "Ryan" perceived this insight returning
to Normandy's beach. by posing a question
whose asking does teach
the answer to what do we owe the deceased? Asked Ryan "Please tell me
the life I did weave has honored the gift that from them I received."
To read these words in stanzas and lines, cursor down.
