Many People gather Without knowledge why to stay They stand there disapointed But no one leaves that day. One strong willed man Speakes out to the rest We gather here and ask of you For your patience and your best He goes on as the others listen He stops and wipes his face He then asks for their forgiveness And then their lives that day. He asks if they will fight and die for him Their families will be so proud As he will live on inspite of them One Man screams out loud: "I will fight for my country, I will give you my blood and pride. I stood there right next to you, Until I got shot in the side." He died for his country He layed down his body and soul No matter how hard I cried for him, He finally completed his goal. |

A fitting tribute to all the fallen heroes. Great job  ------------------ How long after you are gone will ripples remain as evidence that you were cast into the pool? ~Isis~ (Daughter of Mystery) |
