Here's an example of an easy and fun Memoria Day poem:

"Two of my uncles and granddad, too
served our country's red, white, and blue.
On distant shores, in times long past
they fought with valor, gave their last.

We mourn our loss each year in spring,
when love, gratitude, and flowers we bring.
Although we miss them, we can see
without them we would be less free."
