Those Who Died
MEMORIAL DAY
THOSE WHO DIED
My daddy served till I was six.
A Navy man he loved his ship.
Rejecting hero he would proclaim.
"Those who died should have that name."
Sailed many times across the waves.
Rescuing prisoners from cells as graves.
A coxswain warning of things to come.
That sound still echos to setting sun.
Blow the whistle as bugles blare!
Today the fallen shall be honored
everywhere!
