The Garden of Stone

I am standing in the garden of stone
The rows of military line the buried below
In the tombs of remembrance they shall lay
In the garden of stone
Honored in memory
Flag flown above
Salutes from the brothers
Tears from the family
In the garden of stone
Weapons upside down
Dog tags hanging, swinging in the breeze
Bloody boots standing alone
In the garden of stone
Parade rest, the military honors
Twenty-one gun salute
Taps onward play
In the garden of stone.
