Dear My Fallen Soldier

About how a soldier’s loved one feels about him and his death…
Dear my fallen soldier
I hoped you would come home
But when the men came up to my door
I knew I'd be alone

We were expecting him home today
But home he did not come
She would never see him again
She lost the battle she wished she won

She would never hug him again
She cries every night
The sorrow that came over her
She’ll never be alright

She wishes she could have said goodbye
To the one she'll always love
She wants to remember him
As the hero he once was

Dear my fallen soldier
I know that you are gone
But I know you're watching over me
So I will remain strong

She asks god why it had to be him
She wishes he would hold her
But she will always remember him
Her brave, fallen soldier
