When a Soldier Dies
Submitted by Cliff Kesinger
"Proud Gold Star Father"
When a Soldier dies many miles from home
Leaving family and friends all alone
Who will go to where they lie
When a Soldier dies
When a Soldier dies we ponder then
What might they have done, they might have been?
In our grief we simply go numb
When a Soldier dies
When a soldier dies we can't measure the pain
Did they fight for Freedom?
Did they die in Vain?
The answers are inportant you can't deny
To these questions we ask when a Soldier Dies
When a soldier dies we think of a way
To remember forever the year and the day
They gave their life, we feel with a sigh
We'll never forget when a Soldier dies
Enjoy your freedom
Your family and fun
Stop to remember where is all came from
Freedom is triumph over evil and lies
It's paid for ever time a Solider Dies

If you're reading this, my momma's sitting there
Looks like I only got a one-way ticket over there
I sure wish I coiuld give you one more kiss
That war was just a game we played we were kids
Well I'm laying down my gun
I'm hanging up my boots
I'm up here with God
And we're both watching over you
So lay me down in that open field our on the edge of town
And know my soul is where my momma always prayed that it would go
If you're reading this, I'm already home
If you're reading this, halfway around the world
I won't be there to see the birth of our little girl
I hope she looks like you, I hope she fights like me
And stand up for the innocent and week
I'm laying down my gun a, I'm hanging up my boots
Tell Dad I don't regret that I followed in his shoes
So lay me down in that open field our on the edge of town
And know my soul is where momma always prayed that it would go
If you're reading this, I'm already home
If you're reading this, there gonna come a day
When you'll move on and find someone else and that's ok
Just remember this, I'm in a better place
Where Soldiers live in peace and angels sing amazing grace
So lay me down in that open field wout on the edge of town
And know my sould is where my momma always prayed that it would go
If you're reading this, If you're reading this, I'm already HOME
| IF TOMORROW STARTS WITHOUT ME.

"If tomorrow starts without me,
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
the way you did today,
While thinking of the many things,
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too;
But when tomorrow starts without me,
Please try to understand,
that an angel came and called my name,
And took me by the hand,
And said my place was ready,
In heaven far above,
And that I'd have to leave behind
all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye,
For all my life, I'd always thought,
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much left yet to do,
it seemed almost impossible,
that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad,
I thought of all that we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday,
Just even for a while,
I'd say good-bye and kiss you
and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized,
That this could never be,
For emptiness and memories,
would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things,
I might miss some tomorrow,
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates,
I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,
>From His great golden throne,
He said, "This is eternity,
And all I've promised you."
Today your life on earth is past,
but here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last,
and since each day is the same way,
There's no longing for the past.
So when tomorrow starts without me,
don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart "
