Foggy London Town

Reason for Living

..

I have a reason to be living

Clearly all things I see

This is a time for giving

The perfect way to be

.

Putting away the sorrows

This is a brighter day

Swiftly I must borrow

A time to sit and pray

.

I could be sad

Or I can be mad

But that's out of reason

I'm the only one

I should be pleasing

.

So how I know

Here I go

This is my fate

It's giddy up go

I can't be late

A Soldiers

Lament

A Soldiers Lament

~~~

For my Country tears I shed

Never more to be misled

I have done my duty

For what I think is right

My Nations Flag was

Never out of sight

For Country I have bled

Until the stream ran red

What I give so others live

To some a Hero song

It's all for thee for Liberty

And this Nation we belong

~~

Fret not for me in infamy

Sorrow is short lived

I did what I had to do

This was mine to give

Memories they linger

From the Battlefield

My friends are long gone

They carry a Battle Shield

~~

An Old Soldiers Lament

That lasts for ever more

Tribute to the Uniform

That he proudly wore

Loyally he served

Beside the very best

In the arms of the Lord

Finally put to rest

Never more to be forgotten

Lest we not forget

~~

And I quote

" Old Soldiers never Die "

" They just Fade Away "

( General Douglas MacArthur (1880-1964 )
