Rest In Peace Young Soldier

Rest in peace fellow soldier Your time here is done When your family are much older A family member and a son You gave your life for us all For the lives that we may lead You are now attending heavens ball About you, generations they will read Your sacrifice is not wasted This I can assure This poem is not cut and pasted It's about every death in war You will be missed by many a friend And family that's a fact I bow my head in the end As I too did take the pact Although I'm here to tell my tale It hurts me every day When family's all go very pale When the bugle has to play
