Memorial Day
Lets celebrate another holiday went,
Lets celebrate for another day spent,
Lets celebrate another year past,
Lets celebrate the wars of the last.
The fallen children whose blood was spilled,
The mother's cries who's endless tears filled,
The father's screams who are silenced by the dead of the night,
The brothers in arms of the wars we fight.
Do we remember their names?
Do we remember how they died?
Do we remember which war was the blood spilt?
Do we remember how much pain was felt?
Forgotten memories frozen in the lake of time,
Shadows of darkness and despair that makes this rhyme.
I ask you the reader this question at last,
To what matter does it make the past???
The question really worth asking in such a way,
Is, do we remember how they lived on this day?
I don't celebrate their death to war's end,
I celebrate thier life and the memories they lend...
