    • Published by Family Friend Poems November 2019 with permission of the Author.
    A Forgotten Veteran

    Driving home one day after hours of monotonous office work,

    Paid small notice to the figure; my lonely life was in a rut.
    He was just another beggar holding out a shiny tin cup.
