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.   ❤

I bask in the glow of twilight

As the moon comes over the hill

Tis the night I give myself over

Let him do with me as he will

Senseless Sacrifices ~ #MayWriting #poetry

In a worn out gown, she holds back her tears

Simply wasting her life, in her final years

Sacrifices, she’s made, senseless, inane

Left her with nothing, but agony and pain

She weeps in silence, for all she has lost

A home left in shreds, her own holocaust

Tortured, by her own desperate needs

Nearing her death, she quietly pleads

A prayer for solace, comfort for her heart

On the wings of an angel, she peacefully departs
