Memorial Day Poems

It is also a day of sadness
with so many paying the price;
For our freedom and democracy
With their lives at the roll of the dice.
Life is very precious including for those who've paid
Wrong place, wrong time only seconds apart;
They are all from loving families and much loved
We can only sing our praises but where do we start.

This nation will remain the land of freedom only to the extent that it is the home of the brave.

If only peace would finally be reached
And all people would agree;
That this life is far too precious
And that anger and jealousy would flee!
There is enough to share around
As long as we are fair;
But there are very few of this world
Who really want to share.
So our courageous servicemen/women
Are sent to keep the peace and make the sides see sense;
They bravely go wherever they are sent
Standing side by side in our defence.

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.

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane,
I’d walk right up to heaven
and bring you home again.
So for all those who have said this prayer
The same would be said from heaven;
They would gladly be back on earth
Using their lucky number seven.

Death leaves a heartache
No one can heal;
Love leaves a memory
No one can steal.
