Because of Their Courage

 

Because of their courage, beaches are filled.

 

For some it’s been many years,

But hearts finally healed.

 

Healed maybe not totally

But smiles peak through the tears.

 

Laughing, playing in the sand by the bay,

Courage carries on in so many ways.

 

Babies take first steps

As families gather round.

 

Kids go off to college

Destinies to be found.

 

She lands her first job

He ropes his first calf

They cheer on their team

Down at the half.

 

Driver’s first drive

Finally sixteen

Asks her out

Prettiest girl he’d ever seen.

 

Life takes twists and turns

Takes courage when you get burned

Keep at it and never back down

Move forward, at least stand your ground.

 

What’s going on right now with you?

Fighting for your life

Or troubles, just a few?

 

Grab someone you love

Give them a kiss.

Pick up the phone

Call someone you miss.

 

Hang out all together

It’s Memorial Day

Those men who gave their lives

Wouldn’t have it any other way!

 

Happy Memorial Day!  

 “This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.””
