I Mourn You Today With Tears On Your Grave

Still fully I weep with always a cross to bare Sorrow fills me as I look to your stone and stare Flowers adorn it colors of red white and blue Flags on each side and your memory still holds true Your body is gone but your spirit God will save I mourn you today with tears on your grave I look down at the rows of others that have been taken The mortality of it all leaves me shaken A sea of grass surrounds there final resting place I’d give it all up to see your smiling face Your body is gone but your spirit God will save I mourn you today with tears on your grave Trees of oak and pine shade their eternal bed Animals roam freely upon the sleeping dead The air is slowing blowing then there is a calming cease I say a prayer for you and hope you always rest in peace Your body is gone but your spirit God will save I mourn you today with tears on your grave

The spirit is for salvation, so nice to read that Kevin. I think it is those of us left behind who feel such loss but we will meet again which is so comforting.
