Memorial Day 2014

It's time to remember those that served and died Leaving loved ones behind whose tears they can't hide Look deep into your soul as we honor them this day For these are the true heroes as the ultimate price they did pay Their names are preserved on small white crosses world wide Their faces only memories to a few who stand quiet at grave side There is no way we can truly repay them for the sacrifice they made For a life lost is lost forever and even the most grand of memories do fade Maybe the most honor we can show them is to be the best we can be And stand tall against those that would bring shame to this the land of the free For together we can forge the mightiest of unbreakable chains And prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that our heroes did not die in vain

Wow I like the common sence approach you give real value to the day! We must all somehow attempt to make sence of something that makes no sense at all in order for us to take a lesson from such an ominous day with so much gravitas for our fallen and their families. Thank you for sharing such an inspiring poem. S Hale

Hi Charles, nice to know you: This is a beautiful poetic tribute to the brave men who fought to keep our country free. It's a shame that most people see it as just another day off and are against any armed conflict to preserve our freedom. Nice visiting you. Please visit me.
