Memorial Day

~*~*~

No controversy. No cries for peace. No grandstanding.
Just remembrance and gratitude for those who gave everything for this country.



Day is done ... Gone the sun ...

From the lakes ... From the hills ...

From the sky ... All is well.

Safely rest ... God is nigh.

Fading light .. Dims the sight ...

And a star ... Gems the Sky

Gleaming bright from afar ...

Drawing nigh ... Falls the night.

Thanks and praise ... For our days.

Neath the sun ... Neath the stars ...

Neath the sky ... As we go ...

This we know ... God is nigh

~ Major General Daniel Butterfield
