Memorial Day
Memorial Day
To the many soldiers that fought for our freedoms
With arms and feet, pride and spirit
Marching in harmony
Marching with conviction
Marching where ever you were sent
Across the border, across the sea
A cross to bear, a flag to hold high
A homeland, country, and people to save
You never questioned why
You followed your commands
But mostly your hearts
... In the face of peace
You faced the darkness
The betrayal, the enemy
... and the eyes of the devil
But you held your ground for the more significant cause
... Us
Some of you made it back
Some did not
Some were fresh out of high school
And put their country first
And their future second
Yet all had one thing in common
Bravery and unfortunately for some ... sacrifice
You took the baton from all the soldiers that fought
And spilled and left their blood on all the battlefields
From the Civil War, and regretfully on and on
... for us
Without these brave soldiers, and men ... you
... we would have lost
And our flag replaced
And God forbid our lives uprooted
Yes, tearfully a horrifying thought to think
As I reflect on this day
And watch the newscast honoring the fallen men ... you
My eyes do tear for you
And my heart salutes you, the brave men and soldiers
Including our allies
That fought for our freedom
And our nestled way of life
Thank you, sincerely
