MEMORIAL DAY

Today I wear a caring heart.
It's wrapped up in red, white and blue.
Too often we forget this day,
To honor those, so tried and true.

I always wear a caring heart.
I wear it each and every day.
Today I wrapped it specially,
So I would not forget to pray...

To bless all those who died for truth,
Who called their Mama's name in pain.
So young, these gallant heroes fair,
Who gave their lives, but not in vain.

Today the flag will pass me by,
And bunted heart will open wide.
As I salute this glorious site...
My humble self will swell with pride.

This is our country! These our dead!!
And if others happen to fall....
Remember, they follow HEROES,
Who gave us the ultimate gift....
THEIR ALL!!!
