So Young So Sooncountry as flag

To all who shared His life of joy..
Remembering too, that little Boy,
who entered with pride in His Country's
fight, to conquer evil, and do what's right..
To choose a path He knew obscure, to
save His people from death and war..
The Red, White and Blue was flying high,
on that fearful day, He was doomed to die..
His stalwart body fell at His task, but in
valorous memory His soul will bask..
A young Mans dream, to short, but most brave..
And the Red, White and Blue waves o'er His grave..
