In Loving Memory

Family members pray

For your souls to be rested and well

And not go astray.

They're feeling alone and so they yell,

Keeling in the grass

Recalling all that you went through.

How you were the last,

And the true

To fight for what's right,

And die doing what you do.

Now look at how you shine so bright,

And we watched how you grew and grew

To be known as the hero you are.

Please don't ever feel empty.

We know you have many scars,

And you will forever be in loving memory.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This poem is about people in the army who have died in battle. Their family members miss them and when they go and visist them at their grave they let them know they still love them and will forever be remembered.
