Memorial Day

Purple Heart

by Roger Robicheau

Each Purple Heart shall always be

A part of freedom’s history

Hold deep inside a fervent pride

For all who gave, the brave who died

They showed their best for liberty

They stood for us with certainty

Their wound of war, their Purple Heart

Each dared to care and do their part

Some bore a wound which took their life

While others lived past war’s honed knife

True patriots, they faced their call

To keep our nation strong for all

Deep scars of war are carried by

Those who return, and those who cry

Pray for the brave, their loved ones too

Thank God for heroes - all of you

I'm hoping that everyone has a good and safe Memorial day.
