Here Lies A Man

Here lies A Man

 

 Here lies a man
 Six feet under the green
 He gave us his all
 He was a USA Marine

 

 He left back family
 And so many friends
 He loved God and country
 Right up until the end

 

 Now he lays there
 Beneath that cold ground
 On Judgment day he'll rise up
 Just in time to get his crown

 

 He gave us his all
 Before he fell
 Trying to help strangers
 From their living Hell

 

 His family will miss him
 For years to come and pass
 Their tears have fallen
 Like rain up on the glass

 

 His body lays there
 Beneath the grass and ground
 Loved ones come to visit him
 With a weeping sound

 

 There are those that say
 He was laid to rest
 After all this soldier
 Was put to his test

 

 No one knows for sure
 What went on in that battlefield
 There are that ponder
 Where was God and His mighty shield
