I'm so thankful for our school that teaches my kids about the importance of Memorial Day and for their presentation that always brings my tear to my eye every year.
American Tears:
Sometimes I think about America.
About her struggles through the years.
I think of people who did what they had to do
with the strength to act through their fears.
Sometimes I think about America.
About her future and her past.
I know I’m blessed to be living in liberty
in a land where freedom will last.
For the heroes. For the patriots.
For the soldiers. For all the pioneers.
I will always be an American.
And I’ll always cry American tears.
Sometimes I think about America.
About her people’s legacy.
I wonder if they knew that what they had to do
would be known throughout history.
Sometimes I think about America.
About her pain along the way.
I know it had to be for our democracy,
for the world we live in today.
For the heroes. For the patriots.
For the soldiers. For all the pioneers.
I will always be an American.
And I’ll always cry American tears
