Well, it's December 24, 2019. The year is almost at an end, and Christmas Day is right around the corner. Many of you will be spending time with friends and family. Others will be remembering those who are no longer with us or are deployed in another part of the world.

Holidays are so many things to so many people and for that reason, this post will be brief for most want to spend time with those they care about.

Below is a poem, an homage to those who traveled this land before we were even thought of. It is what we love and write about, those images and echoes of the time before.

Echoes

by Doris McCraw

Quite of echoes, rising out from land

Rolling of wagons, images lost in mist

Mountains grow – sink, hourglass sand

Ghosts in the mind, voices persist

History beckons, out on the plains

Stories are calling, help they insist

Aged city, feels growth pains

What is mystery, ceased to exist

Time grows short, trip soon done

Will memories fade, post haste dismissed

Voices cry out, before long none

Echoes call, do not desist

Wishing everyone the best Christmas, New Year and Holiday season. See you next year.
