Memorial Day Poems

Memorial Day Thoughts

the sun is happier to see me than my mother
appreciating her joy of me I take a seat
loving what she adds to my day
happy bird speak reiterates my feelings of well-being

this is Memorial Day weekend
a three-day holiday usually filled with dreary rain
the fuzzy bee balm is barely moving on her stalks
she usually attracts bumblebees, but

Speech on Memorial day

Value people when they have life
Strangely, people understand lately
Everything is loud and clear, yet blinds
Still, people find it challenging, but why? honestly 

Wait, let’s unpack the fact.
Dead people do not speak
Neither response is to pick a fight
They are calm and quiet
Due to which they candlelight
Celebrate the opponent's flight
Words flow with compassion disguised
The love poured out

Armistice

NOVEMBER 2022

Rightly so, the poppies flood
Early in the winter sky
Merrily stood in field, and this
Existence of mine has passed by
Maybe they'd watch us contend
But are authorities ever sober?
Early now, in Winter's sky
Realise how they owed her

Unwillingly ignorant to the loss, they'll be
Scorching their retinas, a veil of red

Oh Liza, dear Liza

Oh Liza, dear Liza. My plane’s going down.
I’m somewhere over the Pacific, but there's nobody around.
Nobody to watch as this hunk of metal falls
No one to weep as these blaring alarms stall. 

Dear Liza, my Liza. Now I’m going down.
It’s not valiant or brave like you hear of in town.
There was no gunfire, I’m just

Memorial

One day a year to mark a sacrifice profound
One day a year to visit the ground
One day a year for the bugle to sound
One day a year a nation’s memory is found
Hardly enough for the terrible cost
Hardly enough for the lives that were lost
One day a year for the flags to adorn
One day a year

Bearing Bad News

Each year Memorial Day causes much lament,
and today will be viewed as another life recap.
A day we honor heroes whose lives were spent,
who, for freedom, willingly stood in the gap.

Too many families are attached to someone,
who served country and didn’t return intact.
Body bags, their ticket home to a loved one,
today, they remember that door knock’s

In Duty's Name - A Linking Pin Sonnet for Memorial Day

Duty calls from valleys deep and wide,
Wide like hearts where brave resolve does bide.
Bide the storms, through fire and endless rain,
Rain of trials met with a calm refrain.

Refrain from fear when darkness clouds the sky,
Sky holds hope where eagles dare to fly.
Fly with honor carved in steel and soul,
Soul forged firm in sacrifice and role.

Final Letter From The Trenches

Dear Ma, if this letter finds
Your gentle hands, your quiet eyes,
Knowing I have fallen where silence climbs,
Beneath a blood-rubbed, broken sky.

The wind here howls like wolves in chains,
Gnawing the bones of godless ground.
The trees wear coats of charred remains,
Their arms outstretched but never found.

Our prayers are whispered into mud,
Where poppies bloom from brothers' blood.
And every

Memorial Day

Memorial Day 

So many sacrifices 
Known and unknown 
Soldiers,  veterans,  marines, and troops 
Going above and beyond 
To protect 
Some have passed away
A moment of silence ?? 
We honor you today 
To all of your families 
A silent prayer is said 
Thanks so much for all you did 
Sacrifices for our country ,

Memorial Message

On the radio I heard
A statement that I found absurd.
It described today’s parade 
Where tributes are routinely made

To soldiers who have served and died, 
Who’ve earned our gratitude and pride.
“These troops fought hard so on this date
We all can meet and celebrate 

The freedom that they helped fulfill 
By eating burgers from the grill.”

Memorial Day And Joe D 2025

Today my thoughts are on Master Sergeant Joe D.
my brother who was four years younger than me.

Growing up Brother Joe was always the battler,
he took no one’s “stuff” and was never a prattler.

At twenty one I entered and Brother Joe came soon,
to the Army’s ways Joe seemed to quickly attune.

He rose to Master Sergeant in

The Bugle's Rest

The bugle sleeps, a mournful, hollow sound, 
As silence falls upon this hallowed ground. 
For those who fell, beneath a foreign sky, 
Who gave their all, for freedom, and to die.


A moment's hush, for hearts that ceased to beat,
For dreams unfinished, victories incomplete. 
For green fields, now stained with crimson red, 
For voices still, and

Remember Their Light

The air grows still, a nation's breath held deep, 
A Memorial Day promise, sacred to keep. 
For fallen soldiers, heroes of the past, 
Whose shadows linger, memories that last.


In solemn hush, we bow our heads in thought,
Of battles waged, and freedoms dearly fought. 
They gave their all, on fields of sweat and pain, 
A sacrifice

Remember Our Heroes

Soldiers in all military
Sacrifice for you and me
Risking their lives for our own
These heroes need to be shown
We won't forget all they've done
Every daughter every son
That is here or passed away
Is remembered every day
