This is at 📍 Youngsville Public Library

🎉 Don't forget .... Bingo with Friends is TOMORROW at NOON! 🎉

Grab your lucky charm, bring a friend (or two!), and get ready for some family friendly competition and plenty of chances to shout BINGO! 😉

Attendance is free, but donations are welcome and appreciated. 📚❤

And rumor has it ... a micro book sale might pop up, so you may want to bring a little extra just in case you find a treasure to take home! Have a few books you've been meaning to pass along? We'd be happy to take them off your hands for future sales, too.

We can't wait to see everyone there! Bunn Library Friends Friends of the Youngsville Library Franklin County NC Library

A Memorial Day Poem
Fields of Valor, Fields of Sorrow: A Child’s Perspective -
by Valeria Ward

In fields where flowers meet the sky,
And whispers tell of days gone by,
I wander with a curious eye,
Through tales of valor, tales of sigh.

My fingers graze the stones, so cold,
Each name, a story, brave and bold.
Yet, why do eyes well up with tears?
In valor’s field, what sorrow nears?

I see the flags, like waves in sea,
A canvas of our history.
But in the breeze, there’s more than air,
There’s love and loss, and silent prayer.

“Why do we come here, Mom and Dad?”
To honor heroes, I’m told, and glad.
But in their smiles, a shadow hides,
A memory of those who’ve died.

The barbecue, the parade, the cheer,
Yet, in their joy, a trace of fear.
For Valor’s field is not just ground,
It’s where their friends were last found.

A child I am, in years so few,
Understanding not all, but true—
These fields of green, beneath the sun,
Are where we remember those who’ve run.

Run towards danger, not away,
To ensure we see another day.
So, here I stand, in fields wide,
Feeling valor and sorrow, side by side.

And as I grow, I’ll come to learn,
Of sacrifices, at every turn.
But for now, in fields I roam,
Grateful for those who never came home.

For in their stories, brave and vast,
I find the heroes of our past.
And in my heart, I’ll keep them near,
In fields of valor, fields of tear.
