Who is this soldier we memorialize
Who fought in wars then he dies
Even though he had to be scared
For into the face of death he stared

A courageous soldier who served his country true
Willing to put his life on the line for you
A warrior who went through strife
Physically and mentally so you could have life

The men and women who for our country fought
A Memorial Day to honor them we ought
Please don't forget the purpose of this day
On the last Monday of May

What a beautiful tribute, I hope many poets realize their freedom to write was only because brave men defended that right!
