this weekend marks our summer's start
cold beer and barbecue, ..
let not our revelry omit
our memories of the few
let's take a moment in between
the sun, fun, games and glee,
to bow our heads in humble thanks
for those that died to keep us free
this weekend is about much more
than that new grill we bought, ...
about more than a monday off, ....
it's about remembering those that fought
let's sacred keep the deeds of those
who've sacrificed it all
for duty, honor, justice and, ..
for those for freedom that did fall
this weekend has been set aside
for heroes and brave souls
let not our revelry omit
acknowledgement of their roles
