Hero
A soldier dies-a mother cries, a heart broken, words left unspoken,
So young a soldier laid to rest, a shiny medal upon his chest.
A soldier dies-a lover weeps, a memory now for her to keep,
so young a soldier to fight and die, forever she will ask God why.
A soldier dies- a child sobs, of a father the son is robbed,
so proud this son will grow to be when a man-to believe his death was in God's plan.
A soldier dies- a life is lost- we all count the human cost,
sacrifices they have made-I know not why-why so man good men have to die.
