FOR ME

Live this Memorial Day vicariously in remembrance of all fallen who, had they not passed on would delight in the simple freedoms this Nation “Under God” provides –
“For Me” (In Remembrance)
Rise Early, the morrow – Slip Quiet from bed – Kiss for me, That I can’t see – A sleeping childs head – Creep quiet, to the kitchen Pour a strong cup- Pull up a chair on the porch, Watch the Sun then come up – For me, Listen, to Birds Hear the rustle of leaves Breathe deep of the Dawn, Smell the blossoming trees Behold fragile flowers – Bend down to your knees – Know that Solomon in his Glory Was not arrayed such as these –	Admire the Clouds And know by – and bye – When life shackles are loosed Above them you’ll fly – Breathe deep for me, freedom – Apologize to None – Remember me all the day Till Evening does come – Thank God for your Supper, Pour a good cup of Joe – Return to this porch Bask in the Sunsets Warm Glow – Enjoy Freedom for me – Live this day as I would have done – Wear my Heart on your sleeve, For, this day we are one – James Anthony Thomas
