A Tribute For Memorial Day
My heart filled with grief, and my heart filled with pain
For all our Fallen Heroes and the Heroes that remain;
For all the battles near and far,
For all our Stripes and all of our Stars.
May we always remember The Fallen were brave
On Memorial Day by decorating their grave;
May we join our hands to pay tribute as one,
For every Mother,Father,Daughter and Son.

"Peace to each manly soul that sleepeth
Rest to each faithful eye that weepeth
Long may the fair and and brave
Sigh o'er the hero's grave.

About this poem:
A tribute to the Heroes of Memorial Day and remembrance of the Fallen. My grandfather, who is in his 90's now, fought in the Pacific Theater during World War II. His younger brother was a helicopter pilot during both Korea and Vietnam.Both men came home safely. I served during the first Gulf War War. All of us have our scars,memories and stories to tell. I salute our heroes proudly and mourn for the Fallen. We shall never forget. *Crisp salute*Poems entered on these pages are copyrighted by the authors who entered them.
