MEMORIAL DAY POEM We walked among the crosses Where our fallen soldiers lay. And listened to the bugle As Taps began to play. The Chaplain led a prayer We stood with heads bowed low. And I thought of fallen comrades I had known so long ago. They came from every city Across this fertile land That we might live in freedom. They lie here 'neath the sand. I felt a little guilty My sacrifice was small. I only lost a little time But these men lost their all. Now the services are over For this Memorial Day. To the names upon these crosses I just want to say. Thanks for what you've given No one could ask for more. May you rest with God in heaven From now through evermore. Author unknown
