Last Reflection

Last Reflection You have paid the ultimate price, And I, made the greatest sacrifice. When the time came You answered the call And gave your all. My son, what remains of you Lies in this casket in dress blues. I hope the cause was just and true, So, I, will not your death rue. I know that you were brave And other’s lives did save. I know most will forget your name But I can’t find it in my heart to blame For they may be standing here like me Knowing what it takes to be free.
