Memorial Day

We remember that You promised
They have only gone ahead
As this Memorial weekend
We pay homage to our dead.
We thank You, Heavenly Father
That you lent them for awhile.
You know how much we miss their
Loving ways and happy smiles.
When we place our pretty flowers
On their graves and tears are shed,
We find comfort in your promise
They have only gone ahead.

Love this,
Always, Alyssa

Although I haven't supported any of the wars in my lifetime, I feel it's so important to support the people fighting for our freedoms that we sometimes take for granted. Your poem is a great tribute to them.
Thanks for sharing this.
Good Will Always,

Lovely, Joyce.

An understand of the eternal is our only hedge against the insanity of death's facade.

Love,

(big hugggsssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, they truly have only went ahead but are always here to guide us all and will always spread light upon their loved ones! (sigh) I will never support a war yet I only support the troops as I want them to stay safe and blessed as they bleed the same as we do and deserve our respect! This is very heartfelt, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joyce, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Hi Joyce, nice write again, one line is very down to Earth, but at the same time extremely powerful and deep. " We thank You, Heavenly Father that you LENT them for awhile". Nice write.
