Definition: Memory; recollection.
Alright class, settle down now, let’s take a look today,
At a word that carries meaning, in a thoughtful way.
The dictionary tells us, “Memory and recollection,” true,
But "memorial" has a deeper hue.
Think of it like this: A memorial isn't just a thought,
It’s a place or thing where memories are brought.
It’s a way to
honor
someone gone, you see,
A tribute to their life, for you and me.
Like a statue standing tall, a plaque so bright,
Or a garden blooming with beautiful light.
These things remind us of those we hold dear,
And keep their stories alive, year after year.
So "memorial" means remembrance, clear and bold,
A lasting tribute, a story to be told!
Does that make sense? Any questions so far?
