Bringing My Soldier Home

Red, White, and Blue is carried off a plane A man of bravery and courage died without shame Six fellow comrades bring him back home Desert Storm is where this soldier roamed The man is to be buried where his family lies The last words of his platoon? Today a brave man met his demise And on the day this soldier was laid peacefully to rest His 3 year old daughter laid a rose on her daddy's chest Then the little girl bent down and kissed her daddy's cheek And whispered ever so softly " Daddy watch me as you sleep." Then she slipped something in her daddy's pocket #1 Dad written on a tiny heart locket Two pictures inside of his beautiful girls His wife and his daughter, his beauty, his pearls The guards call out "Ready, Aim, Fire." Then "Bang!" Some say you could see the father brush his baby girls cheek as the gunshots rang.
