Commemoration

Symbols and mementos

Reach deep inside our souls,

Conjuring fond memories

We thought had passed us by.

Picking our emotions up

Off of a dusty floor,

Some will lift our hearts with laughter,

Others make us cry.

Still others fill our hearts with pride

Like the raising of the flag

By marines on Surabacci,

A tattered, bloody rag.

Every little slice of life

Deserves consideration.

The symbols we hold in our hearts

Are their commemoration.
