Happy Holiday Weekend to you,
Memorial Day's purpose is to remember those who have given their lives in service to our country.
For most of us, it's a day off work, a picnic, a party, all fun stuff. We live in a nation of remarkable, glorious freedoms.
Raise your glass to that.
Words to Ponder~
We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.
"In Flanders Fields"
Moina Michael

| Lyrics to love | |
Dream dream, even for a little while
Dream dream, filling up an idle hour
Fade away, radiate
dreaming is free and the drumming here is fun
