Tribute to our warriors

[dillan 19]

We`ve had `Lost warriors` but what do you do with them as a fitting tribute.

Call me sentimental if you wish, but I have a place near to me that holds good memories as a child idling the summer days away fishing and sailing at a reservoir, courting, hunting etc. It is a beautiful place especially when its approaching dusk with the varying shades of red, orange and yellow sky surrounding a perfect sphere of a glowing sun appearing to touch the waterline in the distance of the reservoir, broken by siloweted oak trees and boathouse. From this view there is a hedge line which divides the bank and fields with gaps in. It is here that I lay my warriors to rest and each time I lay one, a tree is planted over the top to fill the gaps in the hedge row. In winter I see red berries which in turn feed the birds, and come spring they are full of bloom. Each time I pass them I name my dogs and remember the good times I had with them and each passing year the trees are maturing more and more. Ive already made it quite clear to my nearest and dearest where I`m going when my time comes. Above my ashes will be an oak tree. Theres nothing more satisfying knowing I will be reunited with my warriors some day.

 

 

What do you do with your Warriors.
