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.
