I Found Your Medals at Savers Last Night

By Kimberly Green



I had heard that you had died

Little fragments of a life that once was

So I bought them just because

Brought them home, kept them out of sight

I found your medals at Savers last night



I found them again as I cleaned out a drawer

Medals from the time you were at war

Liberation of a nation when you were young

When you once had healthy lungs

You fought a good battle despite

I found your medals at Savers last night



They buried you in your Army best

The National Cemetery became your final rest

I took your medals to your grave

Thanked you for the service you gave

Rest easy soldier; enjoy the light

I found your medals at Savers last night.
