The words for a children's "Memorial Day" rhyme didn't come easy this week. And though I filled several pages of a journal with rough
drafts, the rhyme just couldn't seem to come together. Much of what I wrote seemed better suited for adults than for
young readers. It also wasn't easy writing the description for this particular post – I have a lot of memories and strong sentiment attached to this particular day and what it represents.
Whatever words I write (or illustrations I sketch) seem
hopelessly inadequate.
So let me simply say this...
Let us never forget those who lost their lives on behalf of
freedom. Let us teach our children to honor those who exemplify the true
meaning of courage, valor, honor and sacrifice. Let us always remember to give
thanks and show our support for those who serve.
To America's soldiers and the military families who keep the
home fires burning...
May God's light forever shine upon you.
