Memorial Day Poem by Kurt Beard

Memorial Day is many things
A big race in Indianapolis
A big golf tournament in Columbus
Grilling and picnics
Pools parties
Travel and traffic jams
Boating on lakes


Most important
The only importance
The significance
The sacrifice others made
The loss others suffered
The sorrow and pain

Thank them
Thank the families
Thank the widows
Thank the children

Thank you for your service
Thank you for your pain
So I could be with family
