Remember
Take a moment and remember those who gave their life
They lost their youth, fighting for what they knew was right
Every Memorial Day they arrive reading names etched into a wall
Scanning all those names - sacred to us all
Some will bow their head every now and then
Remembering the loss of a brother, father, husband - friend
Each year many return to the comfort of that wall
To say a special thanks to those who gave their all
This year when some are heading - heading for that place
Sadness, Pride and some relief show up on their face
The wall will always be there steady and so strong
Less and less will go to it as more and more are gone
Memorial Day is for those lost in battle and in strife
But this year, take a moment to remember those who lived
and kept your way of life
Jim 1993
