Holiday and Holyday Poetry
: In Memoriam by dovemarie

On this first summer day,
I salute the military warriors
Who represent that peace is the way

People shed their tears
For the millions who have
Passed through their years

It is so hard to hide grief
Yet try to turn over a new summer leaf

Cemeteries, flags and tributes--
Our country's roots
Have been made strong
Even though war is wrong

Someday there will be a parade
Of all the living and dead
Celebrating a lasting peace made
With Christ at its head
