We are indebted to you, and remember you daily, flot juat on November il, Armistice Day. STONE GLOW The cold stone soldier stands alone in the park. His bowed head dusted with November frost. No warmn glow surrounds to fend off the dark. No life is remarked, no hint of the cost. Perhaps there's a trace of the boy wbo enlisted, Some spark in the eyes that answered the cali. But in that stone the past seems misted. It clouds the agony after bis fali. Tbey lost their lives, and we Iost them. Yet the grey stone soldier seems to know, When we stand, and remember them, We are warmed by a previous glow. James E.
