Memorial Day 2012

I remember the cold December
I remember the star crossed sky
I remember how the moon
It came up singing and it found to dreamers hanging on to the night
I remember walking in the ocean
I remember that look in your eye
I remember the way you stood beside me
When the waves were trying to take you with the tide

I will remember you
And hold on tight through the years
To each moment
When we were together
And the time when you were here

I remember laying in the canyon
I remember when the rain came down
I remember the light from the candle that was burning for a long long time

And I will remember you
And hold on tight through the years
To each moment
When we were together
And the time when you were here

Morning sun midnight chill
Sometimes you are with me still
Oh the memories bring you back to me

I will remember you
And hold on tight through the years
To each moment
When we were together
And the time when you were here
Remembering fallen heroes....Sgt. Joseph M Vanek,  Sgt. John C Osmolski, Captain Jonathan D Grassbaugh, Captain Lee Cornwell III, Captain Maria Ortiz, Staff Sgt. Darrell R Griffin Jr.,  Specialist Ari D Brown-Weeks, and Sgt. Zachary B Tomczak.
My heart aches for all the mothers and fathers who have lost sons and daughters to war.  On Memorial Day and always, I remember those who died in service to this country.  
 Sometimes in tragedy we find our life's purpose - the eye sheds a tear to find its focus.  ~Robert Brault
