For Lee Rigby Poem by Dave Alan Walker

For Lee Rigby

Rating: ★5.0


For Queen and country
I give you my life
for my children
I give you my life
for a better world
I give you my life

Now I walk with the Angels
as I watch over you

I will protect you
from the evil that men do
for I will always be a soldier
here to serve you

Sensitively written. Fallen Soldier = Guardian Angel. That's what I like to think anyway.
