Soldier Born and Bred

Soldier Born and Bred He was an honorable soldier born and bred, Who into big battle many soldiers had led; With great honor and full of much dignity; We are here now to experience his eulogy. Cold casket by a draped flag was covered, And high overhead an eagle had hovered; Twenty one shots rang through the air; Soldier's soul now was no longer there. From here to heaven his soul has gone, And with each day there is a new dawn; Stars shine brightly and glow everywhere; God is there treating us with much care. From the grave site we slowly would leave; God in heaven His soul is sure to receive; To exist and God are always by His side; There where God wants us all to abide.
