  A Salute To Memorial Day~*Marge Tindal*~ Proudly she waves May it ever be the home of the brave the land of the free A home for the homeless the heart of mankind the proudest nation brought to mind The United States of America is home to us all The proudest nation God bless us all Pause to remember Take time to recall 'All Gave Some' 'Some Gave All' In your day of picnics frolic and fun pause to remember the fallen sons They gave their lives so that we could be the home of the brave the land of the free |

Excellent poem Marge.... I wish I had time to write one today.. but I don't - so I'll just enjoy yours.... and maybe I'll post a rather famous one for everyone's enjoyment.... Thanks for reminding us that today is a day to remember those who've made this country "The land of the free and the home of the brave"...  |

Marge, this is a beautiful tribute to this important holiday. Thanks for reminding us that this is much more than a day off of work and school! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde |

Marge, only you could have wrote this with such splendor and class.... love the star thingy..... Well we in Canada have our day on November 11th called Rememberence Day, and we just brought our symbolic Unknown soldier home just recently after 80 years... So salute I to all your lost sons and Unknown soldiers on your Memorial Day. Parker |

This is great, Marge! A supreme poem to honour the day with. Love and hugs, Lizzie  "Poetry is the true expression of my soul, it is my ultimate means of communication. It is my rainbow of delight." |

Nan~ Thank you for your comments. America remembers today, joined with others who helped fight the battles of every war to try to bring about peace. LoveBug~ Thank you for taking the time to remember. Parker~ Oh, how well-aware I am of your country's sacrifice ... and pay honor to the unknown soldier repatriated to his homeland of Canada from France and the Cabaret Rouge Cemetery very near Vimy Ridge from the battles that took so many young lives in WWWI. I'm pleased to pay tribute to them all. Lil' Lizzie~ Thank you honey for taking time to also remember. Corinne~ I appreciate your thoughts also. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
