We Must Remember





We pause on this Memorial Day,
A brief moment in time,
To bring close to our hearts
Those memories we hold so dear


Of the men and women before us
Who unselfishly put their dreams,
Their lives on the line.


Where danger lay as a stalker,
Waiting to take away each breath,
While the soldier plowed
With determination the furrows of death.



We must remember, we must, you and I,
Those special heroes who chose to fly,
To fly the skies of blue that turned
As dark as the midnight sky,


Their wings began to shudder
As smoke choked their breath away,
And hope gave way to the resignation,
"Today, I'm going to die."


Treading the waters so deep and wide,
Men and women continued on their mission,
For God and country,
Their hearts would abide.



Surprised by attacks with brutal disregard
For human life, they fought to the end,
Knowing that life and limb would be lost,
Whether of self or friend.


Yes by land, by sea, and in the skies,
They fought for our land,
They fought for freedom
So that you and I might stand,


Stand for what is right,
For what is good and true,
Fight that we might say
Without fear, "God loves you."



Yes, we must remember,
For freedom is not cheap,
For lives and limbs were lost
So that we might keep,


All the things that we can have
And all the things we can do,
Like cars and boats
And a house with a roof,


Like going to church without fear,
And reading the Bible
Where we find the truth,



The truth of knowing that whether
We are red, yellow, black, or white,
We are all God's children and we need
To learn to love one another
As God first loved us.


For if there is to be peace on earth,
where all men and women are free,
it must begin with each and all of us,
let it begin with you and me.

Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.
( Genesis 12:1-3 )(KJV)


Let's all remember our troops that have died and the ones that are still fighting for our freedom.
