The Last Post
A catch in the throat
And a tear in my eye
The strains of the Last Post plays every note
The jets in missing man formation fly by
Thoughts of those lost in battle
Are harder to imagine without experience
The old veterans know of the war rattle
As the World Wars of last century fade to past tense.
