I can remember when I was young, you told me stories
The world seemed happy and nothing would happen
Back in my hometown, you spent your last years
When I was young, you shielded me from the evil
You were the last I saw before I closed my eyes
The first I see when I open them
My faith in you is forever
Tonight, you kiss me goodnight
Tomorrow you're gone
Once I couldn't imagine life without you
Now I live the unimaginable
This world is a cold place without your love to warm my heart
But even now, my fire burns brightly
I can feel your presence, like a force of wind
Loved by many, admired by hundreds
12 pages of love speak for itself
A great loss you are, but now you can rest in peace
I hope you find peace, my prayers are for you
But now I see you lay there, a knife goes through my heart
My fists clenched, holding back the tears
The knife is too sharp, its crippling me
My agent of hate consumes me
This day my world changes
It took 3 to take you out
You fought hard each round
But this time is different
You l0se your battle
You quietly fall asleep, and pass without warning
Your smile shines brightly
You never went against your fate
But how am I to go on?
You accept defeat with ease
Such a passive nature is hard to figure out
Maybe one day you will answer me
But for now, you live on in me
So here I am, your final resting place
The gunshots fired show your pride
Fought for your country, lived to tell about it
The gunmen honor you
Fold the flag and pass it on
I look down, soaked with sadness I pray to you
My love is confined, things will never be the same
Goodbye now, step to the other side
Enter a serene world with happiness
You are my guardian angel
Goodbye for now, we'll meet again
