A Biker Dog’s Memorial Day
I may be
just a biker dog but I'm proud of what I do.
And I could
not do any of these things if it weren't for all of you.
By “you” I
mean the soldiers, who have made this country free.
And those
who guard her now, and keep it safe for you and me.
From the
time of the Civil War, we have paused to mark this day.
To let you
know how we all feel as we bow our heads to pray.
We pray for
those who came before and those who guard us now
And give
our thanks to those who've served and kept us free
somehow.
Yes, I am
just a biker dog, but even I know this
A nation
must be strong and firm to share in freedom’s bliss.
And
freedom’s cost is always high, no matter what you do.
We must be
always ready to stand and see it through.
Don't see
this as "just a holiday" for fun, to run and play
Take time
to thank the many who fell along the way
Whose lives
were sacrificed for ours, so in freedom we could live.
What nobler
act of man is there? What more is there to give?
I know… I'm
just a biker dog. But questions? I've got two:
Who do YOU
think of on this day? They thought so much of YOU.
And HOW do
you respect them… what will you do today?
I hope it’s
something special. I hope you find a way…
To show
them of your gratitude for living in a land
That’s free
to seek your destiny in a country vast and grand.
To do less
for their sacrifice; would be an insult in the end.
But then,
I'm just a biker dog, how ‘bout each of YOU, my friends?
