A Hero |
|
A hero lies in his wooden bed.
Forgotten by time and cursed into an
eternal slumber
Never again to feel the gentle touch of
the afternoon wind
Never again to taste the ocean's salt
brush against his face
Never again to see the people he loved.
A hero lies in his wooden bed.
Unable to listen to the ones who mourn
for him
Unable to see the seven men standing in
single file
Unable to hear their gun shots fired
three times for his loss
Unable to focus on the echo of the
blasts as they slowly drift away.
A hero lies in his wooden bed.
Lying motionless his body slides into
the Earth
Staying silent as the days go by
And now he feels alive again by the ones
who loved him;
Now he is in everlasting paradise. |
