Memorial Day



Remember me this day.
Remember where I stood upon the sand
The forests, the shattered rock.
Hear the whizzing sounds,
the crashing, thrashing explosions.
Remember the taste of blood,
The cries of men, brothers, sisters in arms.
Remember me, that I was here,
Young, full of dreams and aspirations
just like you.
To give one's life for freedom
for humanity, is the ultimate sacrifice.
War was my calling, but peace my goal,
right or wrong in peace or battle.
So remember us, 
ghosts upon this ocean of time.
Those who gave their lives
So you might live.
