We Put A Flag

We put a flag on daddy's grave
Mommy said he was young and brave
The pretty colors danced and flew
She said I look like him too

Later we saw the Memorial parade
Fire engines and the noise they made
Clowns, Shriners, and a marching band
Soldiers passed, mommy squeezed my hand

It's been a year since daddy died
I remember how mommy cried
We put more flowers on daddy's grave
Mommy said I was young and brave
