Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.

Rest your head
Oh weary son
Your watch on earth
Now is done
In a land far away
you went to war
To keep the evil
From our shore
Staying on course
Always standing tall
Protecting our land
You gave your all
Blessed are those
That battle for right
For GOD has said
You are HEROS in HIS sight
Your honor and pride
Stood tall all the way
And now you have come
To the end of your day
Your watch is over
PGR will take it from here
With all the respect
We stand for so dear
You will ride in our hearts
Down the FLAG filled road
Thank you, BRAVE WARRIOR
You carried our load
Protecting us all
By both day and night
Never once flinching
In the heat of the fight
As we ride for you now
Our hearts filled with sorrow
Never to forget you
For all of the tomorrows
When the bugle plays TAPS
And the rifles will sound
Our eyes will be full
Our tears on the ground
You will be missed
By ones never met
You are our HERO
We will never forget
His memory must not fade
His sacrifice must never dim
We are still free
Because of HEROS like him
GOD BLESS OUR MIGHTY AND VIGILANT MILITARY. SECOND TO NONE. BECAUSE OF THEM WE ARE STILL FREE.

Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Justin.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.
