The New Star |
 |
|
There is a new star that will shine
brightly every night
He made his peace with God nightly
The star was a good man who believed in mankind
He went and did his duty for his country in a far away land
In a war that no one wanted to believe in
He led his troops to the best he could do
But each loss of life was tragic
He came home to a country that belittled him
He was a leader thru and thru,
For he affected us all that knew him
His strength even in illness kept us going
Who was this mere mortal?
This man had two names but we knew him by his loving name
We looked forward to his bible verses
His given name was David
Yet, we knew him mostly as Poppa |
