| 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 a good?
 They loved this our country
 and did their duty as they should.
 
 But what about those left behind
 to mourn the passing of our young?
 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.
 But I will always remember them
 as a proud member of our elite.
