We walked among the crosses
Where our fallen soldiers lay.
And listen to the bugle
As TAPS began to play.
The Chaplin 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 the fertile land.
That we might live in freedom.
They lie here 'neath the sand.
| | I felt a little guilty
My sacrifice was small.
I only lost a little time
But these men and women 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.
