Along with the soldiers we honor this day
It’s also those heroes in blue
Sheriff’s and State Patrol, we honor this way
As well as the Firefighters too
The thing they’ve in common is tragic itself
This honor’s for after they fall
In a graveyard or crypt, that urn on the shelf
Are the symbols for those who gave all

Gratitude For Life
The last time I laughed so hard that my belly hurt was ___________ Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts When I was 24 and going to a women's support group we would laugh, I would go home with a sore face and sore sides. Why? I wasn't used to smiling or laughing. After a few months of doing that, I never have a sore face, sides, or belly from laughing as I laugh enough.
