Happy Memorial Day

[Farmwife]

It's memorial day here in America.
A day to honor our great fallen solders of the past.

To all the soldiers and there families,
I thanks you with an everlasting gratitude
to the freedom you gave to my family
by your own sacrifices to my country.
From a farm family in Michigan


Each donned their uniform to be
Defenders of our liberty

Their mission sure, their spirits bright
Guard freedom’s home, be brave to fight

One final day each faced their call
Each gave their best enduring all

We’ll never know what they went through
But know they loved this country true

Deep down inside we should all feel
What heroes gave, their cost so real

We must stay thankful, grateful of
The gift of freedom through their love

Their loved ones bore the gravest pain
What we can’t know, some now sustain

To God I pray their pain will cease
And each will find long-lasting peace

Remember this from year to year
What heroes gave – shan’t disappear

We’ll never let their special day
Their time for honor slip away

These brave fought for a nation free
If not for them, where would we be?
