Marble Marker

MARBLE MARKER There was a white Marble marker at the head of his grave Here lies an honorable man, just started to shave He died for his country, so Ol glory can wave The kids don't understand, she cries every night Why did our daddy, have to die in a fight She was his first girlfriend , gave him his very first kiss With tears streaming down her face, how could it end like this So young so scared, but also brave He died for his country, so Ol Glory can wave At every ballgame, he was the first to stand At full attention, so bold and so grand He knew it was time for the pledge, before it would start He would have his hat in his hand, and one on his heart He shouted with Honor, as he thought of the lives he might save My husband died for his country, so Ol Glory can wave
