Day Is Done…

Originally posted on The Return of the Modern Philosopher:

As I do,

Every night

At this time,

When the sun

Disappears

From the sky,

I went out

To the porch

To take in

The flag.

I had learned

As a Boy Scout

That the flag

Should never

Be left

All alone

In the dark.

Tonight,

However,

A thought

Came to me

As I collected

Old Glory.

Here it was,

A long,

Holiday weekend,

And once again,

I was

All

By

Myself.

No one

Would be coming

To make sure...
