I had to
go for a long walk today just to get away for a little
while,
I found out yesterday never again would I get to see you
smile.
No more of those tender moments would I spend in your
embrace,
no longer would I be able to look into your eyes or see
your gentle face.
There would be no more long sweet kisses between you and
I,
not even one last chance to see you and tell you
goodbye.
The pain of losing you goes so deep to the very heart of
me,
but at least I know you are safe in heaven now and your
spirit is free.
Yesterday a Chaplin and someone from the Army came to my
front door,
to tell me the person I loved most would not be coming
home anymore.
It seems your whole squadron had been hit by a vicious
enemy attack,
but how to bear the news you and your buddies will never
be coming back.
People talk about all of our fallen heroes who have paid
the ultimate price,
I know if all of you had it to do over none of you would
even think twice.
I sit home all alone now and I remember all the things
you said to me,
about serving was something everyone had to do to keep
our country free.
We are so very proud of all of our service men and we
know you had to go,
the love each of you had for your country now the whole
world will know.
Rest in peace my darling, you will remain forever in my
heart,
when called upon by your country all who served have
done their part.
