Death of Captain Khan
Death of Captain Khan
Was both with much pride and being brave
But Captain Khan now lies in an Arlington grave
After having been humble with much humility
We recently saw his fine father who was on TV.
Next to his heart was a "Constitution" copy
It was all folded neatly and never sloppy
He mentioned dead son who he does adore
Who is now high up in heaven forever more.
Many things away in life may have to give
You have to do so others survive and live
Also guide and direct and further inspect
So that appearance and manor is correct.
Saw dead officer's mother standing there
While she was finding things hard to bare
Enormous pain and suffering did endure
While husband had been comforting her.
Men may wear suits while women a dress
Who husband is always trying to impress
She absorbs pain and is a child's life giver
And this is why a baby she does deliver.
Brave soldiers and officers never do forget
Deep morning grass is still damp and wet
Had raised a dead soldier and were frugal
Hear TAPS gently being played on a bugle.
