I didn’t have to go
Because
you did.
I
could stay safe at home
Because
you went.
I
didn’t have to bleed
Because
you did.
You
hid your scars from me
Because
you could.
Because you went,
Because
you could,
Because
you did,
I
thank you.

Poignant words... matched with a memorably simple and evocative image.
"Thank you"... for caring to remember in such an eloquent voice and posting!
Good Painting!

Absolutely beautiful. I thank you for my son who may not see this but served in Kosovo as a combat medic.
Beautiful, simple painting, I love it. Also your poem. We forget to be thankful, don't we.
Thank you, Bruce, Sadami, Elizabeth and Deb :) This just came to me as I was thinking about those who served. The poppy is on Yupo that had acrylic string gel drizzled in the shape of the flower (somewhat) and then the color (alcohol inks) dropped onto the paper.
really lovely and touching words :) great tribute
Beautiful Rhonda- words and painting.
Glad you enjoyed this, Jennifer Rose and Debbie :)
