Another Solider Fell Today
A young man fell today,
someone's son or maybe
a father, brother, husband,
he gave his life for his country,
will anyone remember him?
At one time he did things
all children do, just have
fun and make dreams
of what would be someday.
War is a terrible thing,
to come to young people,
there has always been wars
and will be to the end of times,
but why, oh why do these
young people have to die?
To be taken from us at
so young of an age.

In memory of our brave men and women who
have given their lives in every war,
since the beginning of time.
