250526 Memorial Day

Memorial Day

In memory of all those who served
And died within their service 
They served our country, that is true 
It's also true they served us

Their sacrifice was ultimate 
Their families bore the pain
They gave their all with selflessness 
Did not come home again

We honor them Memorial Day 
For serving willingly
For causes bigger than themselves 
To keep our country free

We wave flags, wear its colors, too
Perhaps have a parade
But none of that's sufficient thanks
For debt that they have paid

No "thank you," can be properly said
To those no longer here
But, can remember what they've done
Reflect on it each year

As comfort to all those that grieve
I hope you know And so believe
That Jesus understands your price
For, he too knows of sacrifice 

So enjoy the freedom of this life
But remember too the sacrifice 
Of those who fought with bravery
And each military family
