Sitting in Duos abode the park
After all of the Festivities are at an end
All the lost are memorialized
And everyone's hunger satisfied
Sit on only bench in shade
This respite from the blazing sun
Chance again to enjoy the breeze
That God provided this fine afternoon
That's the way it seems to go
Cold and rainy most the time
Except when there's truly a need
For the reprieve of too damp, too cold
Seems like when there's need for memories
The sun and warmth to make good days
For memorializing the ones we've lost
From the recent days and in wars lost so long ago
From all the crowds that lined the streets
Now no one seems to be around
No many came for the 21-gun salute
Offered for all in the park at noon
That's the way this day will end
Weekend over, head for home
All those afar that came to reminisce
Of the lost and fallen few now just memories
