Memorial Day..... a day for memories....

... today is the day to remember the fallen... those fallen in battle, those who've served and fallen later... those who've served, returned to their lives, and eventually fallen in time. And i do remember them.

... my mind remembers too... the memorial days when there were range golf balls to be found under the trees... when there was a super early call for the caddies that day... when there was a rafting trip down the delaware ... when there was ultimate frisbee at the field.... now there is none of that... but there are memories....

so...

In the rising of the sun and its going down,
We Remember Them.

In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
We Remember Them.

In the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring.
We Remember Them.

In the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer,
We Remember Them.

In the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn.
We Remember Them.

In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
We Remember Them.

When we are weary and in need of strength,
We Remember Them.

When we are lost and sick of heart,
We Remember Them.

When we have joys and special celebrations we yearn to share,
We Remember Them.

So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are part of us.
We Remember Them.
