A Place Above the Crowd

Killed in Action.... Now his absence will be grieved This is how they will perceive him ~ He was the boy, we didn't really notice He always had a smile A little shy, smaller than the rest Although he tried, he was never the best But he always had a smile Never the best at hitting the ball or winning a race, or having a face that the rest of the gang would notice at all But he always had a smile He was the guy, that people forgot It's not that they meant to do any harm It is just that they thought he lacked the charm Rejected by some, neglected by most Too quiet they said....to stand above the crowd Even though he always had a smile Yet...now that heads are bowed....they notice him Only the war had use for him...long enough to lose him Killed in action.... Funny about that.....now that he is gone....they are even writing songs of him But he was a hero....long before they noticed ...................................................................
