Never Forget

Never forget that life did not begin with you the world did not begin with you Never forget that man is not like an island We are not the beginning, we are not the end. Remember that you walk upon the tears of those who lived before you appeared. Remember that You stand on a ground that has absorbed much bloodshed from those who fought to keep this land, a place where you can be free Free to dream, free to live as you see fit. Not so that you can get your way over another Not so that you can get rich on the back of another But that you can live knowing that all men are created equal No one is above another, for the value of a human Is not given by man, but by God Who created you as His son and His daughter. That gives you a value of divine dimension That, understanding this truth, will prevent abuse Of any kind on another, because you would not use such demeaning deeds on your mother, father, sister or brother That those who were willing to sacrifice their lives Did this, because they understood the value of human life. Never forget that life did not begin with you The world did not begin with you Never forget that man is not an island We are not the beginning, we are not the end. By CarolineCecile My thoughts for this Memorial Day! God bless you, my sister, my brother.
