In Loving Memory

 We Walked Among The Crosses

We walked among the crosses 
Where our fallen soldiers lay.
And listened to the bugle
As TAPS began to play.

The Chaplain led a prayer;
We stood with heads bowed low.
And I thought of fallen comrades
I had known so long ago.

They came from every city
Across this fertile land.
That we might live in freedom.
They lie beneath the sand.

I felt a little guilty
My sacrifice was small.
I only lost a little time
But these men lost their all.

Now the services are over
For this Memorial Day.
To the names upon these crosses
I just want to say,

Thanks for what you've given
No one could ask for more.
May you rest with God in heaven
From now through evermore.
