HONORABLE SOLDIER

 

She saw the uniform men coming
Watching as they approached the door
As realization hit her, She cried out
,NO, then DROPPED to the floor

bringing the news of her loved one
Who\'s life was claimed in action
Tears rolling unchecked down her face
She couldn\'t control her heartbreak react

Honorable soldier coming home,
Life claimed during the  last fight
Tears from family members
Falling down through out the night

Due to national security, they can\'t tell
Where, or how the death came to be
Except their loved one fought, hard
and died honorable for their country

She heard them ask ,Is there anyone
That can come,that we can phone
For in this time of your grief
We don\'t want to leave you alone

Hearing we are sorry for your lost
Your loved one was strong and brave
The body will rest in Arlington cemetery
In an honorable soliders grave

Please you can take comfort in knowing
Your loved one will not be alone
While transferred with flag covered coffin
Saluting soldiers honored our fallen soldier home

Through the fogginess of her pain
She watched the uniform men leave
Her brain acknowledge what they said
While her heart did not want to believe

HONORABLE SOLDIER is finally coming home
