The setting sun, with it's hueful glow <br /> it set for some, so long ago. <br /> It was far away, that place they went <br /> they stood the line, are yet unbent. <br /> While time has passed, should our memory wane <br /> but remember now, less they passed in vain. <br /> They did for us, what they had to do <br /> for God and Country, for me and you. <br /> Life goes on, as we know it must <br /> but what they gave, shall stand in trust. <br /> Night stalks the land, with stars so bright <br /> wherever you are, remember their might. <br /> The numerous brave, gave so much for you <br /> will never see, our star shine through. <br /> Dance and sing, while you deck the halls <br /> with glowing lights, and sparkling balls. <br /> Enjoy the feast, that's yours this day <br /> but remember those, who've paid the way.<br /><br />Carla Jean Laglia Esely<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-christmas-salute/
