Memorial Day

Memo.. time

My Son asked, 
Mom.. Why is there a Memorial Day?
When Everybody can visit the graves Anytime?
What's so Important about it?
Do People Forget, Loved Ones?
And have to be Reminded Every Year?
Is that Why.. There’s a Holiday.. 
Called Memorial Day?

Then I began, Son Memorial Day
Is For all Our Loved Ones.. Everyone to Honor
Those Who had Fallen Lost their Lives
In WWI and WWII and Other Wars You See
They did this for Us to be Free

My Son Replied, Wow.. 
Mom It's Like You said
About Jesus 
Jesus died and Risen, 
For Us all to be Saved
Paid the Price.. 
Gave His Life.. For Us to be Free

Yes.. Son, God made a way for All of Us 
To Be Born-again
Holy Spirit to Live With-in 
As God Planned 
For US to be FREE! 
God Loves Us All

That Through His Only begotten Son, 
We All can Receive 
Eternal Life.. 
Blessing.. Promises.. Everything, With Christ
Always Thank God.. And Keep Fellowship with Jesus

Come to Jesus
