A Memorial Day Limerick

Memorial Day is a National Holiday honoring all of the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep the world safe from the worst evil and inhumanity known to man. Their sacrifice is the reason we have the freedom that we live under in the greatest country in the world. It is a day to reflect upon how a nation united can overcome anything that threatens our freedom. Happy Memorial Day.

Memorial Day Rhyme

For celebrators of the holiday in the U.S., and for those who serve or are close to those who serve anywhere: 

Today is more than just a holiday,
A Monday off to open summer season–
To honor those who’ve fallen is the reason,
Who gave the greatest gift beyond repay.

No Cure for the Sorrow

Memorial Day – 2017

There’s no cure for the sorrow
That war puts upon
The family, the soldier
The lover, the young

Oh, I sing of the sad ones who wander around

Where Are Those Who Remember?

A Poem for Memorial Day

Open the pool,
Fire up the grill,
Invite the neighbors—
It’s Memorial Day!

Is It Today?

The radio caused me to pause and think
The host relating reaction to her post
Thoughtful words about Memorial Day
Thinking of what really matters the most.
