Decoration Day
A Memorial Day Poem
It isn't called
Decoration Day anymore,
Perhaps because it's an imposing title,
Expecting us to decorate the graves
Of fallen soldiers. So we say we
'Remember'--some of us do--
And though national pride
Is not always shouted,
We should decorate
The graves
For them.

Mom stills calls it Decoration Day. I kinda like the term myself.
