In God’s Arms

 

So many names

Upon the wall,

And God’s arms

Holds them all.

Fathers and sons,

Sisters too,

Died for the badge,

Died for the blue.

Hopes and dreams

Died also that day,

With their last breath

Such a sad price to pay.

Though others will follow

In their shoes,

There’s room for them

In God’s arms too.

In God’s loving arms

These men shall ever rest,

Their badges shining proudly

Upon their blue chests.
