To those that celebrate it, and especially to those that have served in the military and to those that work in fields like the police, rescue, firefighters.....
Happy Memorial Day!
For those that may not know, this is basically a U.S. holiday in commeration of those that have served in the military. It was originally called Decoration Day.
I Stand Before You
I stand before you all today
But not one eye can see my way
My time arrived, to leave this earth
A fact so planned, to every birth
It happened where I had to go
My torch for life was so aglow
I transferred while in uniform
Protecting freedom, through a storm
Should I resent I died for you
Not on my life, red white and blue
Please help my family through each day
Tell all my friends, try not to stray
And of the country I did love
Do think of me, through God above
Your memories, brought forth this day
Send love to us, who could not stay
