Memorial Day, A Day Of Pause

Memorial Day is a day of pause It means so many things For many it's a day from work Relaxing it could mean. It is a three-day weekend so It gives families time for barbeque Hopefully it is sunny out I wonder, are there plans for you? Some of us will visit those we love The ones who have passed away Put flowers there to show we care For those it is a special day. There are many flags flying all around For the ones who give their lives Or gave their lives, no longer here Leaving family, husbands and wives. Let each of us say a prayer to God For those who are always ready In case they need to fight for us They are constant, humble and steady. Our men and women in the military For freedom is their cause In case they're needed they'll be there Have put their lives on pause!
