Little Heroes Day
I wanted to capture the essence of Memorial Day in a way that touches the hearts of children, full of color and life, yet woven with themes of gratitude and respect for those who have protected us. The imagery of flags, picnics, and cheerful cheer create a familiar atmosphere for children, making the poem’s message easy to understand and meaningful. Through this poem, I hope to instill a sense of pride and gratitude in the minds of children for the great deeds of our heroes.
The flags are flying, bright and high,
Blown by the wind, under the sky.
A picnic on this sunny day,
In the park where children play.
We remember, with cheers,
The brave heroes, both near and far.
They keep our lands and seas safe,
So we live in peace and tranquility.
Thank you, heroes, for your bravery.
Thank you for making our world a better place.
With small hands, we wave and say,
Happy brave Heroes Day!
