Memorial Day Christian Poems
Table of Contents
Grace and Glory
Bells toll in the morning light,
Songs of grace fill the air bright.
Hands folded, heads gently bow,
In church pews, we honor them now.
Flowers laid on sacred ground,
Soft prayers are a soothing sound.
Heroes slept, in peace, they rest,
With crosses marking their brave quest.
Through faith, their courage we recall,
For freedom, they gave their all.
God’s love, on this solemn day,
Guides us as we pause and pray.
Their legacy, like stars, will gleam,
In lands where hope and freedom beam.
Blessed are those who stood so tall,
In God’s arms, they found their call.

May God Bless the Heroes
Morning light, we gather here,
As bells of peace ring loud and clear.
Young and old, our heads we bow,
Gratitude for the brave, avow.
Only thanks in our hearts reside,
Deep respect we cannot hide.
Beneath the flag, so high and proud,
Love and prayers we say aloud.
Every hero, past and present,
Shining stars, supremely decent.
Silent fields of valor, wide,
Tributes flow like the rising tide.
Hope eternal, softly springs,
Eternal life, the choir sings.
Honor's call, forever rings,
Each soul flies on heaven's wings.
Remembered in each prayer we raise,
Our heroes live beyond their days.
Endless peace, for them we pray,
So God bless them, this we say.
