This Day

To be worthy of their sacrifice (our sister and our brother),

We will not forget the price they paid this day or any other.

This day is for remembering the selfless and the brave.

This day is for remembering ‘the everything’ they gave.

The everything. The ultimate. The total and the ‘all.’

A sacrifice for others. A life laid down while standing tall.

To be worthy of their sacrifice given unconditionally,

We honor them with gratitude for this day lived full and free.

This day is for remembering the selfless and the brave.

This day is for remembering ‘the everything’ they gave.

The everything. The ultimate. The total and the ‘all.’

A sacrifice for others. A life laid down while standing tall.
