Just a little Something Something I came up with while listening to Sgt. Mackenzie. (From the Movie We Where Soldiers. Written by Joseph Kilna Mackenzie. In Memory of His Grandfather who Served in Vietnam.)
Lay Me Down, In the Cold, Cold, Ground. Where Before, Many Men have gone.
"Ready, Aim, Fire!"
Shots Rang in the air as I stood at the Casket. Not Again. This could not be happening again.
Lay Me Down, In the Cold, Cold, Ground. Where Before, Many Men Have Gone.
"Ready, Aim, Fire!"
I wiped away the Tears that were Streaming down my face.
When They Come, I'll Stand my Ground, Stand My Ground, I'll not be Afraid.
"Ready, Aim, Fire!"
They lowered him into his Final resting place.
Thoughts of Him, Take away My Fear, Sweat and Blood, Hide my Veil of Tears.
People Started Walking away. Tony walked up behind me and put his hand on my shoulder.
"We all miss him."
"I know." Was my only response.
In the year, Say a prayer for Me, Close your ear, and remember me.
1 Year Later
Tony, McGee, Abby, and I made our way towards the Head Marker.
Never More, Shall I see the sun, for I fell to a Germans Gun.
We had Already Adjusted to the new Team leader. But No one would EVER Replace Leroy Jethro Gibbs.
"It's hard to believe it's been a year already." Abby said Softly, Placing the Flowers on the grave.
Lay Me Down, In the Cold, Cold Ground, Where Before, Many Men Have Gone.
A couple of Months ago, Tony and I had gotten together. Not long after, Abby and McGee got back together. Gibbs' Death had hit us all hard. I could still remember it like it was yesterday.
Lay Me Down, In the Cold, Cold Ground, Where Before, Many Men Have Gone.
Gibbs counted down. 3, 2, 1. I kicked the door in. It was an Ambush. I took a bullet in the shoulder, McGee in the Leg. Tony Just got grazed. Gibbs was not as lucky. He had taken one to the heart. The Doctor said he didn't suffer. If Only I had listened to my Gut, Maybe He would still be alive. I should have gone alone, No matter what Gibbs said. Maybe… Maybe…
Where Before, Many Men Have Gone.
