On Each Memorial Day

On Each Memorial Day

by Bud Lemire on May 27, 2006

Going through my memory

I think of things that use to be

The people who have been here before

The times we've shared, and so much more

Going back into the past

The memories will always last

There they'll stay, until in need

And desired, they can be freed

Many will visit the cemetery

To honor those they had to bury

A sad time, will bring on a smile

As they place flowers, and stay awhile

They'll reminisce of times long ago

Feelings that touch so deep, in their soul

You may think they have gone away

But you keep them alive, on each Memorial Day
