Memorial Day Poems
**
We are sad within our memory,
Lonely are our hearts today,
For the one we loved so dearly
Has forever been called away.
We think of (him)(her) in silence,
No eye may see us weep,
But many silent tears are shed
When others are asleep.

God Bless Our Native Land
God bless our native land,
Land of the newly free,
Oh may she ever stand
For truth and liberty.
God bless our native land,
Where sleep our kindred dead,
Let peace at thy command
Above their graves be shed.
God help our native land,
Bring surcease to her strife,
And shower from thy hand
A more abundant life.
God bless our native land,
Her homes and children bless,
Oh may she ever stand
For truth and righteousness.

For those who fought and died
For the families who have cried
Despite the politicians who (may) have lied
Give a prayer or just stand silent
Remember what their lives meant
And it's okay to shed a tear
For this land we hold so dear
The souls of soldiers past
Will forever a shadow cast
Upon this land from coast to coast
So unto them I pledge this toast

To those we have loved and lost
Unto this thing that we call warfare;
Brave and bold although we are never told
Courage can be over just as soon as it's there.
Tools of the trade are not forgiving
Against them there is little chance;
But over and over our boys go out there
And with the devil dance!

Purple Heart
Each Purple Heart shall always be
A part of freedom’s history,
Hold deep inside a fervent pride
For all who gave, the brave who died.
They showed their best for liberty
They stood for us with certainty,
Their wound of war, their Purple Heart
Each dared to care and do their part.
Some bore a wound which took their life
While others lived past war’s honed knife.
True patriots, they faced their call
To keep our nation strong for all.
Deep scars of war are carried by
Those who return, and those who cry.
Pray for the brave, their loved ones too
Thank God for heroes - all of you.
