In Memory Of Our Fallen Heros
In Memory Of Our Fallen Heros
THE SOLDIER They shall not die, so long as we remember they lived? The Flag's been folded, and passed to his wife, All that is left, of a soldier's life. The casket is lowered, and a prayer is said. But wait a minute, he can't be dead. He's much too young, to be lying here, He goes to college, in one more year We knew this soldier; he was our friend, He defended us, through thick and thin. We trusted him, in moments of strife, He honored that trust and gave his life. At least he gave up, this mortal clay, But his spirit lives on, from day to day. He lives in our minds, and in our hearts, And though we miss him, though we're apart, The ties that bind, will not be shattered, If we always remember, how his life mattered. He loved his country, so proudly he served, He was sometimes scared, but never unnerved He fought our battles, far across the sea, And kept us safe, in this land of the free. So keep the vigil, in this home of the brave, And remember the life, he so gallantly gave. He loved the Flag, the Red, White, and Blue, Keep it flying high, It's your flag too. When the trumpets sound, with the final call, When Taps is played, for one and all, When peace shall reign, and we give thanks, When there's no more guns, no shooting tanks, When we come to the day, when we shall meet And see him again, on that golden street.
