He isn't mourned by many,Just his children and his wife.For he lived an ordinary,Very quiet sort of life.He held a job and raised a family,Quietly going his way.

And the world won't note his passing, Though a veteran died today.

If we cannot do him honor While he's here to hear the praise, Then at least let's give him homage At the end of his days.Perhaps a small headline In the paper that might say: Our Country is in Mourning, For a Veteran Died Today.
