A Day In May Commemorate

The sights of the stars and stripes, Invoke in me a sensation of pride, When I hear, The Star-Spangled Banner, I’m besieged with chills running up and down my spine. Because they represent the justice and freedom, All Americans have come to enjoy, But sadly, sometimes it’s at the expense, Of the lives of someone’s little girl or young boy. These brave Americans chose to serve, But, unfortunately, not all will survive, To revel in the accolades, they so well deserve. That’s why, on the last day in May, We celebrate and pray; Lord, please comfort the souls of our fallen heroes, And God, bless our beloved U.S.A.
