Man Like Me
January 18, 2013
Most men don’t believe they’ll end up like me
Dead and gone and just barely eighteen
I thought I would survive the endless fight
And grow old with the one I’d left behind
She never deserved to see me
lowered beneath the trees
She wasn’t ready to receive
They flag they folded up for me
But if this is the cost of men like me
Who work to keep us free
I’m just so blessed to be
A part of such company
I never wanted to go down
But now I’m proud
Now I lay beneath this hollow ground
With men like me
We rest together in harmony
Here in Arlington
