Memorial Days

By Mary E. Adair

M is for Mothers who are crying

E is for Everyone who we have lost

M is for Memories of those dying

O is for Other ways we count the cost.

R for Reality that comes a'winging

I for Ideals to straighten our spine

A for All who set our hearts a'singing

L for Love - that's still the bottom line

D for Dedication Days in May

A for Acceptance as we must go on

Y is for You who now must find your way

S for Soliloquies’ for those gone.
