HEAR THE SOUND OF SOLDIER'S BOOTS
Hear the sound of soldier's boots
That marched for Freedom strong
Hearts in cadence echo true
Whether it short or long
In the wind we feel the breath
Of those that died for you
In the fields where poppies grow
We see their valor too
Soldiers fallen in the fight
With loved ones left behind
Would do it all again you see
To free all human kind
Soldiers know that freedom reigns
When peace will fill the earth
Until then they carry on
Knowing what life is worth
Stand with me and honor those
That gave their life for all
Bless all those that now do wear
Our country's flag; their pall
Place your hand over your heart
Stand quiet if you please
Close your eyes and see them there
"A-ten-hut"; now "at ease"
Place your flowers and a flag
To honor those that passed
Then turn and thank a soldier
Pray for peace that will last
written with
Love, Honor and yes, a Hope someday for
peace.

To Thank and
Honor all the men, women and children
