Remembering
Today we celebrate Memorial Day
I'm sure a lot of you will get out and play.
As you relax with family and friends
Remember the lives that have come to an end.
The men and women who put their lives on the line
The men and women that left their families behind
The men and women some very young
The men and women whose lives barely begun.
This day say a prayer for those still fighting
And those that have come home with problems igniting
Missing limbs and scars galore
Issues to deal with and so much more.
Enjoy your day this holiday we share
Glance up at the sky and say a prayer
We share this day with all the soldiers so brave
Lay a flower upon that soldiers grave.
