| | Memorial Day
As we stand here looking
At the flags upon these graves
Know these flags represent
A few of the true American brave They fought for their country
As man has through all of time
Except that these soldiers lying here
Fought for your country and mine As we all are gathered here
To pay them our respect
Let's pass this word to others
It's what they would expect I'm sure that they would do it
If it were me or you
To show we did not die in vain
But for the red, white and blue Let's pass on to our children
And to those who never knew
What these soldiers died for
It's the least we can do Let's not forget their families
Great pain they had to bear
Losing a son, father or husband
They need to know we still care No matter which war was fought
On the day that they died
I stand here looking at these flags
Filled with American pride. So as the bugler plays out Taps
With its sweet and eerie sound
Pray for these soldiers lying here
In this sacred, hallowed ground. Take home with you a sense of pride
You were here Memorial Day.
Celebrating the way Americans should
On this solemnest of days.

Mom, you're a wonderful mother,
So gentle, yet so strong.
The many ways you show you care
Always make me feel I belong.
You're patient when I'm foolish;
You give guidance when I ask;
It seems you can do most anything;
You're the master of every task.
You're a dependable source of comfort;
You're my cushion when I fall.
You help in times of trouble;
You support me whenever I call.
I love you more than you know;
You have my total respect.
If I had my choice of mothers,
You'd be the one I'd select!
