Fallen soldier
He told of his sad stories
The war, his friends, and horrors
They linger in his memories
He was a brave and worthy soldier
His journal we did find
Written neatly and somewhat faded
He spoke his opinionated mind
Soldiers falling all around him
The thoughts of his family
Worried and sad
He already knew
The war was getting bad
Not enough information
Showed on the NEWS or CNN
The deaths, the blood
Only one thing on his mind
his daughter saying "I love you"
Before saying "goodbye"
He then closed his eyes
Trying to make the picture clear
Of his home back in America
And his family so dear
He said his last prayers
And then closed his eyes
He again saw the picture
For the very last time
The telegram arrived
For his family to see
His wife did weep
As she fell to her knees
Memories filled their hearts and minds
For now and ever we say our goodbyes
