Freedoms Wagons

Misty rain fell upon those paying their respects did not impede the cavalcade commencing Fellow soldiers followed the horse drawn wagon headed to the burial grounds of sacrifice. A fallen soldier was laid to rest No rainbow can alter the gray skies that cover A burst of sun will not lessen the pain that stifles Valor among men, honor to all. Inscribed grave stones with bronze markers at the side Those who rest here will never be forgotten for their service Freed us from the foes but we lost our men who fought for us We now fight the tears from that sacrifice. Their bravery was exemplified, our flag still waves Freedom rings but freedom brings back the wagon Horse leading with empty saddle and boots in the stirrups Onlookers respectfully honoring the flag draped casket Where freedom rest, soldiers also lie in rest Our nation gained victory but yet they died They united to fight so we shall live Freedom took our men, wagons continue to roll by
