The Unnamed Soldier

I am the unknown soldier No one knows my name, I gave my life for my country On my grave is a forever flame. People come visit me daily Some give me flags or a wreath, Fellow soldiers give me a salute As I lay 6 feet beneath. I am the unknown soldier Resting alone in this grave, I will forever be remembered As one of the proud and the brave. But, you don't know who I am You don't know the color of my skin, You don't know my politics or my religion Or the paths, that I have been. I am the unknown soldier Whose memories and feats are buried in the ground, I hear no more bullets or bombs explode Hearing Gabriel's horn was my final sound. Fellow soldiers now protect my grave As for our country I did die, But, I wish that they knew me and my name Forever I am that unknown G.I. Randy L. McClave
