When you loose a loved one
in a war far from your home.
It tears your heart wide open
and makes you feel alone.
How could this have happened
to the person that I love.
Why did God not stop this
while watching from up above.
Did their death serve a purpose,
was it really for some good?
They loved this their country
and did their duty as they should.
Now what about those left behind
to mourn the passing of our young.
For sometimes it gets so hard
to smile and hold our tongue.
Maybe as time passes
I will be able to understand.
Why my loved one had to parish
defending us in another land.
But for now I shall cry alone
for my life feels incomplete.
I will always remember them
for they were one of our elite.
