On Memorial Day Poem by Jim Milks

On Memorial Day

Rating: 5.0


Here in this sacred place where silence resounds
Not a stone out of place, white crosses and flags abound
The solider stands guard
On Memorial Day, the nation on interlude
from their family, their drink,
and freshly grilled food.
Give pause to think
of the soldier standing guard
over the hallowed ground
over the ground where the heroes
of the a grateful nation can be found
and the solider stands guard
A solider stands guard for his brothers and friends
Far too many lie here to ever make amends
Through the night and day
This is the price that he will pay
And the solider stands guard
Through the winter, the summer
In the sun and in the rain
This is his duty here he shall remain
And the solider stands guard
