Ed Kay Poet Rhyme

Memorial Day 2026

We memorize a ton of things
Them phones, birthdays and deadline
Important something, so it clings
And daily chores of every kind

But there's a day we shouldn't miss
Amidst the life's intrepid fuss
We are around, think of this
Because someone protected us

He gave his life on a battlefield
We knew his name not, or deed
Yet, we as nation, must be kneeled
To soldier's memory indeed

Remember those served in wars
And place a flag in ground they rest
These fighters, gallant to the core
Gave all they had, they were the best

Time to observe Memorial Day
Stop for a moment, pay respect
Last Monday of the month of May
To say a prayer and reflect
