NUMBER ONE
As you take your last wish
Let it all out
The pain and the disappointments
As the pronounce your name
Embrace it
Be grateful it' is yours
A soldier,
I should have
Written a letter
But you were too young to understand
I should have
Hugged you more
But you were too inquisitive
A grandfather,
As you take your last wish
Let it all out
The betrayals and the lies
As they pronounce your surname
Admire it
Be proud it is yours
A soldier.
