I cannot visit
your graves this year;
Your lives which ended
so I could stay here.

A price that was paid
like Christ on the cross,

My tears, unashamed, freely fall
may we remember them now, remember them all.

Past, present and future
we honor those who serve.

As a country
may we live our lives in such a way
which portrays that your service and sacrifice
was… nor, is it ever… in vain.

Happy Veteran’s Day
to the Hero’s of our land
For a time that’s bittersweet
Because of you ~ we still stand!
