Remembering The Fallen

Lord please pick me up if I should fall and those who have fallen for the cause of the nation, bless them and their families.  At this time of the year may I remember those who went before me to make living today a freedom for which we should all be entitled. And let us not forget the many people who though they live, fought and sacrificed themselves, sometimes at great lost. We remember our troops and Vets on this last Monday of May as we usher in the summer season and the many traditional annual events.

 

Remembering the Fallen

Regiments fought that we

Embrace life and live freely

Military battles fought long ago

Enriched our nation for our people to grow

Marines and army men would sacrifice

But war Vets for years are not treated nice

Every man that fought whether dead or alive

Risk much for their homeland to survive

It’s from this respect and admiration that we

Now celebrate Memorial Day annually

Getting together with love ones to remember

Those who fought that we wouldn’t suffer

Horrific assaults by the threatening enemy

Emerging from remote lands like the Iraqi

For to long though we celebrated who died

And would go to cemeteries and often cried

Lamenting for those who died that we

Live in our homelands with harmony

Except at home there is fighting, quarrelling and chaos still

Nullifying the sacrifices of these brave soldiers’ will
