God Bless Our Native Land
God bless our native land, Land of the newly free, Oh may she ever stand For truth and liberty. God bless our native land, Where sleep our kindred dead, Let peace at thy command Above their graves be shed. God help our native land, Bring surcease to her strife, And shower from thy hand A more abundant life. God bless our native land, Her homes and children bless, Oh may she ever stand For truth and righteousness. Oh may she ever stand For truth and righteousness Frances E. W. Harper

That Fateful Fourth
Our will was strong, our want was great Let freedom reign, what better fate We journeyed long from Plymouth Rock The time was clear to end all talk That fateful fourth our courage showed Americans - and how we glowed We won the right to be self known Our independence, clearly shown The test of time has stood us tall Through bravest hearts, some forced to fall We’ll always cherish those we’ve lost Their gift to us, their total cost Today we face another foe And stand together, all do know Please often pray to God above He’s seen our hearts, He knows our love Roger J. Robicheau

Memorial Day Poems
**
We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude. Cynthia Ozick
**
When Memorial Day began, the war dead were placed front and center. The holiday’s original name, Decoration Day, came from the day’s main activity: leaving flowers at cemeteries. More recently, the last Monday in May, and the weekend preceding it, has come to mark the unofficial beginning of summer for many. Along with parades doused in red, white and blue, cook-outs in the backyard and excursions to the local beach fill the long weekend.

It’s easy to take for granted the freedom when they have never had to take you. Dick Cheney

Purple Heart
Each Purple Heart shall always be A part of freedom’s history Hold deep inside a fervent pride For all who gave, the brave who died They showed their best for liberty They stood for us with certainty Their wound of war, their Purple Heart Each dared to care and do their part Some bore a wound which took their life While others lived past war’s honed knife True patriots, they faced their call To keep our nation strong for all Deep scars of war are carried by Those who return, and those who cry Pray for the brave, their loved ones too Thank God for heroes - all of you Roger Robicheau

Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. This means a strong desire to live in the form of readiness to die GK Chesterton
Many people write poems for a particular occasion or for a particular person just because they want to, but often it is because they just can't find anything out there that will serve the purpose. Although written for a specific person it does not mean it would not be appropriate for another person, as is or with adaption. For example a poem written for a sister might have verses or express sentiments appropriate for someone else's mother or a poem to a mother might work well for a father. Do you have a poem you've written or been sent that you'd care to share? I'd love to hear from you
