Memorial Day Poem 2016

“Remember”

I do not claim

To know your name,

Nor understand

What you had planned,

Before the blare

Of mad warfare,

Took you away

From this free land.

I only know

You faced a foe

And fought for me,

To keep us free.

One life to give,

That we may live

So thankfully,

For Liberty.

Now, at this time,

I keep in mind

The noble price

Of sacrifice.

I will recall

You gave your all,

And made your stand

For this Free Land.

John Stuart  2016
