    Book Pressed Flowers
    She lay crying by the hour

    Sweet fragrance ah-raising
    She stares into the horizon

    Why did they take him
    He paid his allegiance to them

    Book pressed flowers
    Here comes his hour

    Yell'n his battle cry
    To day is a good day to die

    He says to his men
    I wish we were home again

    But look to the horizon
    And know your wives are a cryn'

    Now he lays there holding out his hand
    Telling his men his body to mangled to mend

    Then says take these book pressed flowers
    I'll die in the hour

    Tell her today was a good day to die
    Tel her not to cry

    Book pressed flowers
    She lay crying by the hour


    what do ya'll think?

    aww I really liked it.
    A story of being in love and dieing at war. Something that is happening to someone right now. Very universal of you.
    Book Pressed Flowers, don't let your pages get wet.:)

    Very nice, and extremely sad.
    It's difficult to think that this happens everyday now.

    yeah, but sadly it does and it comes in the form of a flag..The flag of the country that started it!
