Memorial Day Love Poems Poem by Tom Zart
Memorial Day Love Poems
Our flag is fabric wove of thread
Carried by heroes live and dead.
She stands for justice and courage too
With her colors; red, white and blue.
For all who serve her, there’ll be cheers
For any who die, there’ll be tears
For all who love her, honor will prevail
Any who harm her, shall suffer and fail.
How many moms have cried before
As they sent their children to war?
How many dads have not returned
Because our freedom must be earned?
Wars were waged where brave men died
As patriots fought side by side.
Our flag is still the pearl of Earth
Because of those who prove her worth.
DADS AT WAR
Where would I be without you dad
My hero of night and day?
I'm so glad you love my mother
And think of us when you pray.
The last time we had Christmas
You reached for me with your hand.
I looked at you, then made a wish
That I might be just half the man.
I love my father of Earth,
And I love my Father of Heaven.
It's a lot for me to love, you know
For I’m only eleven.
Mom and I sure miss you
Since you left to defend our flag.
When others ask, where is your dad
I can't help but boast and brag.
SORROW
Sorrow is better than laughter
For by grieving, we're improved.
Blessed be all who morn
Till from sadness they're removed.
After death our souls shall fly
Perhaps from star to star
Reaching our destination
To find Heaven’s gate ajar.
God made us able to cry
Sorrow teaches us to fear
Those days we’re selfish and cruel
When life is so short and dear.
Time wipes tears from all faces
Whose hearts are tuned to sorrow.
Those that cry a thousand tears
Shall be blessed by tomorrow.

A meritable and moving tribute to this very special Day...One that I'm afraid that over the last 40 -50 years has ostensibly lost its all-worthy respect, commemoration and Thanks.... My Dad was & will always be my hero...he passed in '08 at 86...He was a radioman on Guam, in WW I I...thankfully, like your Dad, mine too made through and back home...Or else I wouldn't be writing this comment! Our America I feel will be alright, so long as the next group of crucial decision makers are leaders who will do whatever it is necessary to protect this country without limitation. When I think of the 4,000 men/women who gave their young lives away for a victory that was literally allowed to be taken away less than a decade later by a gang of thugs who we were warned about 12 years ago...it makes me sick..Sorry for the ramble-on.........Tom, job well done ~FjR~
