Not A Tear

Contributed by Dave Glenn

Not a shed tear to be seen.

No mourning family on hand.

All his old friends have gone before him.

 

Only a cloudy sky overhead to mark this day.

A winter chill in the air.

 

His beloved flag covers his coffin.

The only tribute he requested.

 

The hole is dug to receive this old soldier.

 A bugle will announce his departure.

A granite stone will mark the spot.

 

There is no more for him to do on earth.

Let the angles welcome him to eternity

And God to say well done.
