Soldier Blue

                                                               You'll Always be                                                                Just Three Years Old                                    ...

I Stand Before my Mother's Grave Searching for the Words I Crave To Soothe my Aching Heart Tombstone Gray, the Gentle Rain Washes Streaming Tears of Pain No Words Can I Impart What's Left Undone Words Won't Undo Simply Mother - I Love You If but My Heartbeat Were as Faint Now That I Have Come Undone My God Reveals That He Has Won No Grave Can Hold a Saint

God's Anointed Chosen son Protects and Serves Lives by the gun Pain and Hurt A Daily Prayer For Peace Throughout The Lion's Lair Battle born for God to use As Only He is Free to Choose On What Battlefield I Lie When First I Kneel and Then I Die

Into the day I cast a note Tugging on my old friends coat Looking for what longs to be A dying love to be set free Wounded heart not fully healed Taken down a path concealed Of roses blooming in a dream Now raging tears in fullest stream No words to say I'm sorry

Precious hearts say their adieu Love's goodbye all things anew But as the sand flows through the glass There is no rest sad will not pass Memories linger in the haze of Happy times when love did rage A child amidst the broken hearts Searching for a brand new start
