Little hero, there you lay

All dressed up to a tee

A special and sorrowful day

 

Surrounded in white, there you lay

Dressed in dark army green

You life cut short that yesterday

 

Ever so peacefully, there you lay 

Wearing a large gold medal

Saving another from tragedy that day

 

Small hands folded, there you lay  

Pastor said, you are in heaven

Up there is where you are today

 

Your looking down, there you lay

Standing in front of god’s grace

Now you are gone, on your way

 

By your mother’s hand, there you lay

Early as the sun was coming up

She quickly took your life away

 

Little hero, so there you lay

Resting ever so peaceful

In heaven, there is a brighter day

 

God Bless You Little Hero

Dear Staci, Why kids have to die so young? They knew death before knowing life. God bless him. My heart goes out to the family and all those who knew him. Staci you are not a silent observer but an active and vigilent mom. Emile

Many young folks meet their demise and not just from war but from driving a car. May that soldier rest in peace and enjoy his eternity with God for he gave his life that another would live, a true hero.

Staci,

Am I reading this right, this little hero laid to rest was killed at his mother's hand? Tragic!! So sad when children die, especially violently...needlessly...senselessly.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
