Before you go
Before the light dims from your eyes
And your suffering on this earth is over.
Before the story ends,
I want to tell you..
Your sacrifice has not gone unnoticed.
Your loyal heart is not taken for granted.
The blood that was spilled, the pain endured
Is not unnoticed.
While you are here with me,
Let me bind the wounds of battle
And honor the sacrifice you have given
So we can be free.
Before you go,
Let me hold you and ease the pain
That you hide behind a smile..
While inside, you ache..
Let me honor your life now, while you live
Not with flags on a grave that offer no comfort,
But now, while you are here,
Let me tell of your loyalty to God, to country,
To us.
