TAPS
The bugle sounds its final call
the echoes die away;
darkness now has fallen
although it is mid-day.
The flag is being folded
to be given to your wife.
Your children stand bewildered
at this strange twist in life.
Another hero has fallen
and now he lies at rest.
The world's a darker place now
for he was one of the best.
He raised his children to love the Lord
and honor his country and flag.
He served with pride and honor,
they sent him home in a bag.
the echoes die away;
darkness now has fallen
although it is mid-day.
The flag is being folded
to be given to your wife.
Your children stand bewildered
at this strange twist in life.
Another hero has fallen
and now he lies at rest.
The world's a darker place now
for he was one of the best.
He raised his children to love the Lord
and honor his country and flag.
He served with pride and honor,
they sent him home in a bag.
