  Denomination: Baptist

Quiet mounds of earth,

Erected crosses;

So many souls,

So many losses.

This special day

Has been set aside

To honor those

Who, for us, have died.

May we hold dear

Every gain and loss,

And ne’er forget

What’s beneath the cross.

Thank you, dear Lord,

For the brave who gave—

Who now occupy

A hero’s grave.
