A Tribute To Our Fallen Soldiers.

We salute our fallen soldiers for their families we pray,
fighting for our freedom when God took them away.

They fight for our protection to keep our country free,
no so sure about the rest that means a lot to me.

God it really breaks my heart to hear another soldiers dies,
A nation is in mourning and still a nation cries.

As many people gather to pay their last respects,
the family of the soldier so proud happy to accept.

A woman holds her baby as tears roll down her face,
A soldier folds the flag as they sing amazing grace.

I wrote this for our hero,s not one but to you all,
to the ones still fighting and for the ones who fall.

God bless our hero,s
and peace to the fallen.
