In Your Honor

Standing here at attention
as your flag is folded, is where I need to be
Taps is being played
as I salute to you from me
You defended our country with honor
your sacrifice was giving your life
You leave behind many memories
for your family, your children, and your wife
Many tears are shed
many questions asked why
I stand here and salute you
I know in vain you did not die
Proud to be a soldier
you gave it your all and very best
You knew the sacrifices to be made
now taps is being played, as we lay you to rest
In our hearts you will be forever
your memories etched in each and every mind
Your service to your country
very honorable is what we find
Family and friends are grieving
your loss strikes us all, very deep in the heart
Your body being lowered now
as from this world forever you depart
I lower my salute now
but inside myself I pray
I will continue to carry the honor you held
in our fight for freedom on any given day
