Where The Stone Flowers Grow

<b>Arlington</b></p><p>Walk among the gardens of stone</br>Evenly spaced white rows as far as the eye can see</br>Watch the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown</br>Honoring the nameless heroes' memory</p><p>See the small flags flutter here and there</br>Faded by years of rain and sun</br>Hear a somber gathering murmur a solemn prayer</br>For a fallen hero whose journey's done</p><p>Walk softly by an old woman</br>Bent and scarred by the unforgiving years</br>As she pauses to remember what might have been</br>Her sad eyes filled with unrequited tears</p><p>And when you leave these hallowed acres</br>Where the stone flowers grow</br>Remember the fallen peacemakers</br>Whose sacrifice bought us our tomorrow</p>
