Poetry: A soldier's tale

by Marilyn Francis

Created on: May 13, 2008

MAY DAY! MAY DAY!

MAY DAY! MAY DAY!
They made the call.
Some were saved.
Others would fall.
*
MAY DAY! MAY DAY!
MAN the guns!
Keep in mind
What they saved us from.
*
MAY DAY! MAY DAY!
Our Heroes are sung.
With their blood
America is made One.
*
MAY DAY! MAY DAY!
Let's wave the flag.
Memorial Services
Can be so sad.
*
MAY DAY! MAY DAY!
"Oh say can you see?"
"We're the Home of the Brave.
And The Land of the Free."
