Veterans' Day

 

We stood there in the silence

That only comes with tears

We knelt beside a brother lost

Who no longer shared our fears

 

We wept again that morning

For a brother gone away

There was only fighting left for us

What more was there to say

 

But as we turned to leave him

We prayed God found him fair

For only God could know the price

We paid to leave him there
