The Last Post

THE LAST POST............. Six soldiers bear a coffin, Of a comrade killed in war. The Union flag draped over him, A hero to us all. This soldier killed in battle, In a conflict overseas. A man who fought for his beliefs, While defending you and me. To the families of these soldiers, Of my thanks I give to you. The bravery that they have shown, Such courage is shown by few. A military burial, a volley of shots, Then a flag lifted up from its host. And as we lay him down to sleep, A bugler then plays the last post. God bless you our brave British soldier, For this country still owes you a debt. You gave up your life for our freedom, This ex soldier will never forget. .............Rest in peace...............
