Buried with Honors
You served our country
Giving it your best years
Then time passed
Forgetting you and your peers.
Homeless, they described you
No family to call your own
Someone chose to hurt you
And you died alone.
No one came to claim you
As a pauper you would rest
But someone who had met you
Could not bear such behest.
A veteran you were
"A prince of a guy" he said
Then took it upon himself
To bury you as a veteran instead.
For the complete story about Albert Shepherd and Bill Davies, please read the article "Shepherd will be buried as a veteran, not a pauper" in the Rome News Tribune.
