Paying Tribute to The Old Guard…

The Old Guard…

In Arlington our soldiers rest;
They fought our wars for those oppressed.
We honor them and share their grace –
Pay tribute with a resting place…

In recognition of their deeds
We post our sentries – for all creeds;
In admiration, soldiers come
To volunteer with flag and drum.

They march upon God’s hallowed ground;
The Old Guard stands without a sound.
Our sentinels for those now gone -
They walk their walk along His lawn…

As families gather in their grief
They mourn their loss, yet find relief
In knowing that the Old Guard’s there;
To share – to safeguard – loved ones prayers…
