memorial day & elvis...

every year at this time
the rain always comes by
every year at this time
there are always dark clouds
in the sky

while parades are
seen every where
and placing wreaths
of flowers
on graves
on tombs
on cemeteries
is the main event

memories of love ones
dominate the air
where their greatest
sacrifice of giving
their lives for freedom

is being hailed

so somber
so quiet
a day it is
so nostalgic
as a tear
drop drips...

thanks to all the fighters of freedom that were lost
with your sacrifice, i am here to enjoy life at your cost
in a way I'm saddened by it, that to have it, you will be gone forever...

***
"No More" by Elvis...no more smiles, no more laughter, no more love. very sad emotions that we can feel for their families. time heals broken hearts but it will be hard for these families i think, even if their love ones died as a hero...life is here only but once and once it's gone it's done...very sad. different than when your love one is alive but you called it quits for the love is gone. for love can be found again somewhere, somehow from another person :) and did you notice? Elvis at times ad libs at the end of his songs, laughs. interestingly different and yeah he is the king so that makes sense :> whatever, i like it :)
