Funeral Poem for a Soldier

In Loving Memory of Our Young Soldier

His home was with his family,
And his home was with his friends,
Then his home was with the Army,
The U.S. Army that made him a man.

He traveled far from home for his country,
Places most of us have never been,
A comrade in arms in Afghanistan,
Proud to be one of America’s men.

He always made time for his family,
Kept in touch with soldiers and friends,
From N.C. & Indiana to Alabama,
The list of those he touched never ends.

Now his home is high in heaven,
Home again with family and friends,
Still watching over America’s people,
Still loving the country he defends.

Thank you, Chris.
We are so proud of you.

In Memory of Sgt. Christopher J. Lovins
