For the Love of a soldier
November 12, 2011
You marched off to battle
In your uniform of blue and gold
I watched you go
Praying for your return
Comforting my tears with nightmares
I waited for my soldier to come home
The war went on
Days turned to weeks
Weeks turned to months
Yet still I waited for you
I love you still
You have yet to return
I watch for you
Praying to see your face
But it was not to be
Yesterday, I got a letter
My love was gone
They say you died a hero's death
I tried to go on
Still I sit
Waiting for a love
That is still gone.
