Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. John 12:24 (ESV)

Arlington

In Arlington stately stones stand
Rows of white attentive in shaded lawn
Remembering who freed the land

Sobering testaments expand
Shining peacefully in the glow of dawn
In Arlington stately stones stand

Around the world monuments spanned
Days, decades, centuries have come and gone
Remembering who freed the land

As numerous as grains of sand
The gravity of war is placed thereon
In Arlington stately stones stand

Arlington might be wide and grand
But just a drop of water in a pond
Remembering who freed the land

Bring the flowers, strike up the band
Honor the well from which freedom is drawn
In Arlington stately stones stand
Remembering who freed the land
