~Memorial Day~

Flags today in tribute wave
For those loyal ones who gave
Of their youth, their hopes, their
might
For a cause they knew was right.

Morning bells sound their call,
Pause and say a prayer for all--
All who served valiantly
That men might be ever free.

Toll of bells, drums' slow beat--
Silence falls in every street.
In each heart swells the plea:
Keep us safe, but keep us free!

Ever try to swallow coffee with a constricted throat? Maybe I need to put down the cup...

Thanks, Meg, that was very touching. We all remember, and must never forget.
