Memorial Day Poem

Today is Memorial Day. It is a day of remembrance to the military men and women who served in the United States of America. A time to remember those who lost their lives serving our country.

I am re-re-posting a poem I wrote in 2018 for Memorial Day (revised version.) I have posted this on the blog each Memorial Day, and it has become a tradition.  

Let Us Remember

Written by Brooklyne

Let us remember 

The ones who taught

Let us remember 

The ones who fought

Marching proud for the U.S.A

Let us remember 

The ones who braved 

Let us remember 

The ones who saved

Fighting for the land of the free

Let us remember 

The ones who doctored 

Let us remember

The many who died 

For the freedom of our country

Let us remember

The ones who stayed

Let us remember 

The ones who prayed

On their knees for the battlefield 

Let us remember 

The ones who trained

Let us remember 

The ones in pain

Making a noble sacrifice 

Let us remember 

The ones who never forget

Let us remember 

The ones the battles blow hit

For our home of the free is because of the brave 

Let us remember 

The One who is true

Let us remember 

The One who brought us through

Victory is In God We Trust

1 John 5:4

"For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. 

And this is the victory 

that has overcome the world- our faith.

What were your plans over Memorial Day weekend? What's your favorite Memorial Day song? What do you think, is it a good idea to make this poem a tradition on Showers of Blessings?

Many Blessings,

Lets talk in the comments below! 

To Stay Awestruck

To Stay Awestruck

Written by Brooklyne

Indescribable! 

Never let His glory fade 

The beauty of this earth He made 

From the countless stars, to every small grass blade. 

Never let His glory fade 

Uncontainable!

His mercy’s are new each day

Thanking Him always when you pray

For His rich blessings He bestows, come what may

His mercy’s are new each day

Incomparable!

His love, He freely gives

Those who are searching to believe 

Love is what made Him suffer so that we could live

His love, He freely gives 

Unchangeable!

We are His chosen children

To spread the Truth we’re given

Living in peace with our sisters and brethren

We are His chosen children

All powerful! 

Just for us, He sent His Son

He has already fought and won

Leaving the ninety-nine to rescue the one

Just for us, He sent His Son

You are amazing God!

How then, do we forget?

All the criteria He has met

It seems all we do is worry and fret

How then, do we forget…

To stay awestruck?

This song, Indescribable, is what inspired this poem which I wrote at 12:30AM. My writing inspiration never sleeps! :) Anyway, I hope you are encouraged by this poem, To Stay Awestruck. Let this post serve us as a reminder to stay awestruck of our Amazing God! 

Have you ever forgotten to stay truly awestruck? Name one thing that you find amazing about our God. Thank you so much for reading this poem! Have a wonderful autumn day, and I will see you in the comments! :)

The Trust Rope

The Trust Rope

Written by Brooklyne

Sometimes I view my trust in God as a rope

It stretches from God to me

And it is what I cling to for hope 

My "trust rope" might grow taunt or even fray 

It might take all my strength to hang on 

But I have to remember to trust and obey

Having trust means to rely 

Relying in God for everything can be hard

But God is patent and wants us to try

Our God is so great and just

He is our Rock and Fortress

In Him I put my trust!

Since I didn't write a poem last week, I am sharing one with you now. 

Blogging is flexible like that, right? :)

I wrote this poem when I was thirteen or fourteen years old. It might not be the best written or rhyming poem, but just read the words. I think we all can be reminded that we can have hope in our trust rope. 

I am at a place in my life that it seems as if everything is happening at once, that everything is changing and moving so fast. I can hardly keep up with it all. But that's where I go wrong. It's not up to me to keep up with it all, it's up to me to trust Him with it all.

 For me, trusting is hard, because that means letting go. 

Letting go of the worries, the fears, the stress. 

Letting go is not as easy as it sounds, because you have to choose to let go. Giving God everything and trusting is a struggle for me, and I am no where close to having it figured out. I am trying, and I am learning, but that is where I am at. My Papa says sometimes, "If you are at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on tighter." 

Have you ever felt like you are at the end of your rope? What are some ways that you deal with stress? Because, I know by experience, chocolate doesn't fix problems! How can we strengthen our "Trust Rope?" Thank you for reading, and lets talk in the comments! 

P.S. Sorry my picture is blurry! Oh well... :D

I thought I would post this poem for Memorial Day coming up on May 28th. Let us not forget the ones who have given their time, dedication, and lives for our country. 

What are your plans for Memorial Day weekend? How is everyone enjoying May? What is one thing that you are thankful for today? Comment below!
