Some Gave All - A Poem Of Gratitude For Memorial Day
Encouraging, poem for all the men and women who served in the military, giving their all. They are forever our honored heroes.

The Greatest Love



The greatest love I was ever shown,
Was given me by those unknown.

Whose love for all of those like me,
Was given without vanity,
Was given freely without remorse,
Free-flying into the battle course.

With courage fighting our enemy,
So our land would always home the free.

So my own children can live and grow,
My children that they did not know.
Those brave warriors, whose lives were lost.
All paying the terrible, ultimate cost.

The greatest heroes, woman and man,
Who gave their lives in a foreign land,
Whose last sight was the desert sand,
All led to glory by God's tender hand.

Never again to see
This sweet land, that they so loved,
That they made their stand.
Never again, to take a breath free,
Or to feel the touch of family,
They gave up their lives so
That it remained free, for they so loved
This great country.

With pride we stand
And voice what we want,
While overlooking soldier souls haunt,
Smiling while children laugh and play,
In freedom growing day by day.

All because of those unknown,
Who's greatest wish
Was to just come home.

I pray that maybe,
When they take their last breath,
That they closed their eyes,
And just before death,
Took the vision to glory,
Of America green,
And smiled when thinking
Of those unseen.

The greatest love I was ever shown,
Was given me by those unknown.

THANK YOU!
