America's Noblest Motive
AMERICA'S NOBLEST MOTIVE
"The noble man makes noble plans, and by noble deeds he stands" Isaiah 32:8
Decoration Day, declared,
For homes and everywhere.
Flags and flowers now in vogue,
Want us to be aware.
Battles rage, war goes on,
When will it cease?
Americans died in uniform,
Remember our own, please.
Memorial Day it now is called,
Our heroes names we read.
The sound of Taps, a mother's tears,
A sorrowing time indeed.
June 14th comes along,
Our flag to honor true.
For those colors many bled and died,
The red, the white and the blue.
Soon now, we do it again,
Independence Day is nigh.
Freedom bought with lives,
Raise the flag up high.
In November we honor Veternas,
All are heroes now.
Every gender, race, religion,
To you we humbly bow.
Are four days in a year enough,
Their service to recall?
Parents, families and friends,
Will kneel and praise them all.
Lord we give them back to you,
Your Promise to fulfill.
Thank you for sharing them here on earth,
We miss them still.
