Heroes

Ode to the fallen heroes Who left their all When duty call Glanced at victory At the expense of of their lives Living children and wives To restore honor and glory. They fell with their faces with the foes. They performed their duty diligently Remember to honor them with dignity. Ode to the fallen heroes Who seemed out of battle have escaped Through some profound dull tunnel Long since scooped. No longer mingle with their laughing comrades Nor talk of their battle escapades Neither sit at familiar tables at home They sleep beyond the soil foam. They fell with their faces with the foes. They performed their duty diligently Remember to honor them with dignity.
