Memorial Day 2010

[InTheBeginning]

I Stand Before You

I stand before you all today
But not one eye can see my way

My time arrived, to leave this earth
A fact so planned, to every birth

It happened where I had to go
My torch for life was so aglow

I transferred while in uniform
Protecting freedom, through a storm

Should I resent I died for you
Not on my life, red white and blue

Please help my family through each day
Tell all my friends, try not to stray

And of the country I did love
Do think of me, through God above

Your memories, brought forth this day
Send love to us, who could not stay

Very nice. My thoughts are with all soldiers, but especially with my father's father, who died in WWII, and my mother's brother, who died in Viet Nam.

That's incredibly beautiful, ITB.

Bless everyone who has sacrificed themselves for our freedoms and their families who sacrificed with their absence.
