In a far away place a solider died <br />Lay gently upon his grave a sweet bouquet <br />And somewhere a mother cried <br /> <br />A child grieves for the father that has been denied <br />Longing for all that has been taken away <br />In a far away place a solider died <br /> <br />War, a horror that can never be dignified <br />yet we march off to war again today <br />And somewhere a mother cried <br /> <br />A cold stone palace where the heroes reside <br />Where too many have been invited to stay <br />In a far away place a solider died <br /> <br />All that is left when worlds collide <br />Is sadness and sorrow and dismay <br />And somewhere a mother cried <br /> <br />I say to you my brother your memory will not be cast aside <br />All that you fought for will never be cast astray <br />In a far away place a solider died <br />And somewhere a mother cried<br /><br />Jim Milks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-soldier-died/
