Fallen
heroes on my mind,
Perfect
words are hard to find
To offer
thanks for all they’ve done
To keep us
safe and keep us one.
Offering
their finest skills,
Being forced
to count the kills
That make
war such a gruesome act,
People die
and that’s a fact.
And humans
just have never found
A way to
walk on even ground
Where no one
uses deadly force
To try to
make their chosen course
Accepted by
the other guy
And always
leaves us wondering why
We seem to
need choose to fight
To prove
that we are always right
And when we
do, to pay the cost
Those
faithful fighters’ lives are lost.
And so we
have a holiday
To offer
thanks, our debt to pay.
For those
who had to give their all,
Who by their
comrades had to fall
In places
all around the world,
Iraq, in
Nam, in Gettysburg,
Where ere
the Stars and Stripes unfurled,
Who fought
for freedom, where they were
And now it
causes hearts to stir.
We thank
them for their service brave
Who went to
war, freedom to save.
In honor of
their gifts and lives,
To make sure
that our freedom thrives
We must make
sure that wars will cease
And learn to
live with all in…
Peace,
Alex
