We honor those, who fought the fight

On the battle fields, both day and night

Who fought for our liberties and our rights

But, never returned, to a future, bright

On Memorial Day, we honor our dead

Who gave their lives, where’er they tread

Where bravery stood, and never fled

So we could tuck, safely, into our beds

On this Memorial Day, and every day, remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for us, so that we may continue to live in freedom. May God always hold them in His loving hands. ❤

The lovely Helene of Willow Poetry has challenged us with “What do you See?”. On you own blog, you may write a poem, haiku, tanka or short story that represents what you see or feel within you. Then link your post to Helene’s original post. (Can be found at the bottom of my poem by clicking on What do you See?)

The delicate pieces of nature
Completing the puzzle of life
Bits torn to create anew
From bland to exquisite
An indistinct worm
Sleeps, awakens
Grace in flight
Flutters
Free

It’s quite curious, this thing we call life

There is irony in the way that we live it

Our sarcasm far outweighs our strife

It’s as if we’re trying hard, to forgive it

I wrote this in 2014 and have shared it the past couple of years. It has now become my traditional Mother’s Day Poem. For all the beautiful women who bring joy and love to child’s heart, have a blessed and beautiful day!! ❤

A mother’s love is true
