Monday is Memorial Day in the United States so today I am sharing things related. I hope whatever country you are in, you have a glorious weekend! Fellow Americans, enjoy this long weekend, be safe if you travel and take a few minutes on Monday to remember why we have no school or work, take a few minutes to remember and honor the supreme sacrifice so many have made for us to have the freedoms that we too often take for granted.

WE'LL SCATTER THE BLOOMS OF MAYTIME
We'll scatter the blooms of Maytime
Over each silent grave,
Letting their fragrant beauty
Honor the true and the brave.
Green are the beds of glory
Where thr heros are resting today;
Bright is their hollowed story
That never shall pass away.
We'll scatter the blooms of Maytime
With memories forever dear,
That linger in golden beauty
Throughout every passing year;
Not as these lovely blossoms
Whose brightness is for a day,
But ever through life's deep hours,
We'll cherish their fame for aye.
