Poems

Until we meet again.
I'm sorry that you're hurting darling
I wish that I could ease your pain
But, it's not something that I can do
Until we meet again
I'm standing at attention
Watching, knowing what you feel
As you struggle in your mind
To figure out if this is real
I love you and I'll be with you
Although I am buried here
There's other soldiers with me
They say there's nothing you should fear
Veterans from others wars
Who laid their life down on demand
Others, valiant women and men
Who followed country and command
As they fold my flag for you
You wipe away a tear
And smile up so bravely
There is nothing you should fear
I'm standing at attention
Watching silent with no sound
As the guns go off is sequence
And I'm lowered in the ground
I love you and I'll be with you
Although I am buried here
There's other soldiers with me
They say there's nothing you should fear
Veterans from others wars
Who laid their life down on demand
Others, valiant women and men
Who followed country and command
Remember what we always had
A bond that only death could break
As strong as any hurricane
That only love could make
I am standing at attention
Here, with veterans who went before
I know that we will meet again
I'll be waiting at the door
I love you and I'll be with you
Although I am buried here
There's other soldiers with me
They say there's nothing you should fear
Veterans from others wars
Who laid their life down on demand
Others, valiant women and men
Who followed country and command
Now be my strong brave soldier
Take a breath and count to ten
For I'll always be here with you
Until we meet again
Start with TAPS and lead into the verse.
