Welcome to Morning Open Thread, a daily post with a MOTley crew of hosts who choose the topic for the day's posting. We support our community, invite and share ideas, and encourage thoughtful, respectful dialogue in an open forum.
This author, who is on Pacific Coast Time, may sometimes show up later than when the post is published. That is a feature, not a bug. Other than that, site rulz rule.
So grab your cuppa, and join in
Memorial Day is not about the greatness of our nation, or the might of our military. It is a day for counting the true cost of war. Our dead loved ones, and those who have come home forever wounded in body or mind.
“A dignified transfer”
Rupert Friend sings "For All We Know" to Joan Plowright in Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont
For All We Know
For all we know
We may never meet again
Before you go
Make this moment sweet again
We won't say goodnight
Until the last minute
I will hold out my hand
And my heart will be in it
For all we know
This may only be a dream
We come and go
Like the ripples of a stream
So love me
Love me tonight
Tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come
For all we know
- Songwriters: J. Coots / Sam M. Lewis
