Peace Collection

Susie Clevenger's Slidely by Slidely Slideshow

Peace signs…

a reminder war

is never an answer…

War came to me

in a small town.

Viet Nam was

miles away

and death didn’t

have a familiar face,

But from a store front

window I saw it march

down main street in a coffin

covered in stars and stripes.

With Bridge Over Troubled Water

playing in an unending loop in my head

I told a friend goodbye and pledged

from that day forward I would always

surround myself with symbols of peace.
