The Mother Weeps

The mother weeps at the grave of her son Human lives must be lost for a war to be won He was brought home dead from a war far away Some to be heroes with their lives do pay At his burial a young army bugler The Last Post did play And he will be remembered on War Memorial Day Even victory in war does come at a huge cost For a war to be won many young lives are lost For the mothers of the war dead the grief last for years In war there is only death, bloodshed and tears In war sad to say many dead heroes are made And they are remembered in every war parade The mother she grieves at the grave of her son So many young lives are lost for a war to be won.
