Where the Stone Flowers Grow (Electronic book text)

Walk among the gardens of stone Evenly spaced white rows as far as the eye can see Watch the changing of the guard at the tomb of the unknown Honoring the nameless heroes' memory

See the small flags flutter here and there Faded by years of rain and sun Hear a somber gathering murmur a solemn prayer For a fallen hero whose journey's done

Walk softly by an old woman Bent and scarred by the unforgiving years As she pauses to remember what might have been Her sad eyes filled with unrequited tears

And when you leave these hallowed acres Where the stone flowers grow Remember the fallen peacemakers Whose sacrifice bought us our tomorrow
