Autoplay

another soldier dies
a sweetheart gently cries

a wife falls to her knees
to pray and weep and grieve

a father too is lost
and is it worth the cost

a faithful friend is gone
the war still rages on

the leaders make excuse
to not secure a truce

and evil is condoned
as tyrants seize the throne

I hope war does not come again- but I'm sure it will.

The picture is so compelling. My parents live in Arlington, in view of Iwo Jima monument, the arlington cemetery and Fort Myer (I think that's the one) ...whenever I visit, it hits me....especially when they play taps (which they do every night) ....
