We put a flag on daddy's grave

Mommy said he was young and brave

The pretty colors danced and flew

She said I look like him too

 

Later we saw the Memorial parade

Fire engines and the noise they made

Clowns, Shriners and a marching band

Soldiers passed, mommy squeezed my hand

 

It's been a year since daddy died

I remember how mommy cried

We put more flowers on daddy's grave

Mommy said I was young and brave
