In Memory Of...
A Memorial Day Tribute
by Linda Berry

Safe light is drawing near,
Boats are gathered all around.
Anglers stand, many shed tears,
For silence is the sound.

Our brothers and sisters
Look down from above
While we bow our heads
In memory of . . .

As heroes have fallen
More take up the fight.
Our country is defended
By day and by night.

For a war has no mercy
On family or friends
Or mothers and fathers,
Who want it to end.

As Old Glory is waving,
 Our anthem is sung.
It goes without saying,
We stand united as one.

We pray for our troops
To God up above,
And give thanks for our freedoms
In memory of . . .
