Remember them this Memorial Day....

Memorial Day poem by CW Johnson

We walked among the crosses where our fallen soldiers lay.
And listened to the bugle as TAPS began to play.
The Chaplin led a prayer; we stood with heads bowed low.
And I thought of fallen comrades I had known so long ago.
They came from every city aross this fertile land.
That we might live in freedom.
They lie here 'neath the sand.
I felt a little guilty, my sacrifice was small.
I only lost a little time, but these men lost their all.
Now the services are over for this Memorial Day.
To the names upon these crosses I just want to say,
Thanks for what you've given, no one could ask for more.
May you rest with God in heaven from now through evermore.
