D-Day ~ 80th Anniversary Tribute

Normandy

June 6, 1944

She was standing on the porch

that day in June

watching her youngest

come running up the steps

then across the lawn

when it happened

on a beach called Omaha

where her eldest lay now,

face down

no longer clawing

at wet sand.

She stood there, quiet,

holding him close,

fingering his hair.
