"It Breaks My Heart"




Submitted by KSBeaird@aol.com

The wind is briskly blowing on a grace in Jacksonville
the story that it is telling would give your heart a chill.

It was just a few short years ago that he was laid to rest
no gold ring on his finger as his hands lay cross his chest

A woman made arrangements for the funeral that day
with a promise in the near future the bill she would pay

It breaks my heart to know his plot is not his own
there's no words above him no granite headstone.

He had been a career soldier with four kids and a wife
but changes came after Viet Nam that disintergrated there lives

Later on he wed another but money was her game
she figured his retirement check to be a permanent thing

She got him to adopt her child and change his insurance too
then she left him for another while the divorce was going through

What happened on that dreadful day only the woman knows
a gunshot to his temple left the retired soldier cold

It breaks my heart to know his plot is not his own
there's no words above him no granite headstone..
