Thoughts on Memorial Day -
We gather, we pray, we join hearts, this MEMORIAL Day 2023

Skyward be our eyes...
A feeling, a thought, and skyward be our eyes
The solace of light within supernal skies
Blessings of ALL we do feel
The touch of GOD ever real
And in this moment as Below as Above
Beheld we be by the embrace of Love
From the light a resounding WORD
The message of GOD, the ALL be heard
Our Sons and Daughters in blessed memories they be
For the valor and sacrifices made to defend land, sky, and sea
Held within our hearts be memories of sweet times shared
We in PRAISE Salute those who are in GOD’s heavenly care
And so this moment, this hour, this day, a blessed salute we give
To those who with sacrifice of life defended the freedoms we live.
