Unearthing Forgotten Memories

by Greg Asimakoupoulos

Posted: May 24, 2015

Suggestions for Memorial Day…

Their chiseled names are growing smooth.
The grass and weeds unmown.
These graveyards rarely visited
hide heroes barely known.

The mem'ries of these patriots
who died to keep us free
must be unearthed and called to mind
from sea to shining sea.

This weekend is a perfect time
to stroll among old graves.
Saluting courage of the past
will help us to be brave.

Seek out the places time forgot.
Go plant a tiny flag.
Remembering keeps faith alive
so Liberty can brag.
