Notes About The Poem

  

Memorial Day Soldier

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!
