Honored Dead

I speak for those no longer alive Some went through hell just to survive Way off in foreign lands places filled with gunfire and sand With spirits so proud and true They gave their all for me and you With a sacrifice not felt in vain As with all wars, they're so insane I'm sure you're heard it said Just remember Our Honored Dead. There is still more I have to say Their spirits shall soar all the way They were husbands, fathers, brothers and sons Soldiers were even mothers of proud sons But all wars sometimes come to an end So with tears in my eyes I shall say it clear and speak it again Remember all these soldiers and not just how they died but how their lives began Now after all I've said: Just Remember Our Honored Dead Ron (RabidWolf) Leighman
