Word came among us in this wonderful Country; the USA
That some of our men were killed; in an accident today,
But they would not have been; had not it been for a coward in a cave,
This wonderful marines family would not had to bury him; in a grave.
When we heard of these men; we knew not what we could say,
But all the people of America paused; and cried today,
For the marines, sailors and all the service men; to go the way,
Of the places they need to go; to keep the people safe in the USA.
Our hearts go out to all the families of a missing son; their soldier boy,
'Cause we miss him too; even though we never saw his face of joy,
When running and playing as a child, or somber faced; as a man on his way,
To join up and help fight the enemy; for our protection in this evil of days.
Many go and win the wars of America and come back; home again,
These are the valiant heroes of America; down to every single man,
They take the chance to go and die for us; we need to lean their way,
Give them comfort in all things; so the people wont have to cry today.
I know the good Lord took them home; their soul is with God now,
They did their duty here on earth; and won the crown of Glory somehow,
With the Father watching their every move; He must have needed them in some way,
But for the ardor of love we feel and sadness of our loss; all the people cried today. |
