On Sorrowed Brow

When ones children face their final breath

And precious days are borrowed now

The reason for their untimely death 

Remains perplexed on sorrowed brow

What is the price of what was treasured

And how will parents journey on

Their anguish can never be measured 

When all their hopes and dreams are gone

So say a prayer for all those that's died 

And give comfort for what was lost

Remembering all the tears they cried 

For paying the ultimate cost
