~Remembering Those Who Gave All~

Honor Is Due By WayzataJOHNN

Do you remember how He wept in the garden, filled with strife
Even as His Disciples slept away the waning hours of His life
Did He cry for all who would become lost along the narrow way
And those who in some final moment courageous their very lives pay

If He could, why can’t we, do something as simple as feel that need
Are we so stunted in our souls we honor not another’s very last deed
Save me from such a shallow world, rather I would remember them
For they are the very best of a Nation’s children, hence honor stems

I pause to remember, for I too walked the ways of war and strife
I lost good friends to that madness, saw the end of a cherished life
Pause to reflect on the debt one owes to all who fell as in Grace
And know the fallen have stood before His loving gentle face.

I’ve been teary eyed for 2 days. Our Colors are flying high this weekend in their Memory.

Thank you, Meg, for your lovely post to honor our military heroes. Young Barbara Bush is speaking on Cspan 1 right now. She is President of Global Health Corps. Both those daughters are turning out to be good representatives and speakers for their interests. I know President Bush and First Lady Laura are proud parents.

Happy Memorial Day, Meg.
Thank you for this wonderful tribute to those who fought for our freedoms.

Yesterday's thread was beautiful.
Your Opening and replies were lovely, as usual.
Thank you for being the perfect Sunday Hostess.

Everyone's tributes to our military were awesome.
I won't be able to comment on each one but I certainly appreciated and admired each one.
