Quote for the Week - Memorial Day


Memorial Day 2010

Blades of Grass and Pure White Stones

Blades of grass and pure white stones
Shelter those who’ve come and gone.
Just below the emerald sod
Are boys who reached the arms of God.

    Buried here with dignity
    Endless rows for all to see,
    Freedom’s seeds in sorrow sown,
    ‘Neath blades of grass and pure white stones.
Blades of grass and pure white stones
Cover those who left their homes
To rest in fields here, side by side,
Lest we forget their sacrifice.
    Buried here with dignity
    Endless rows for all to see,
    Freedom’s seeds in sorrow sown,

    ‘Neath blades of grass and pure white stones.


~ Orrin Hatch
