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 chilly breeze in the air.
His beloved flag covers his coffin
The only tribute he requests
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 to be done on earth
Let the angels welcome him to eternity
and God to say well done
