im coming back, you did say
keep you safe i would pray
i watched you walk out the door
you marching off to fight a war
as you turned away, i felt a burn
in my heart i knew you would not return
everyday i would sit and wait
watching for you to walk through the gate
one day a car pulled up
2 soldiers got out and walked up
no spoken words did i hear
my mind was racing with my deepest fear
you would never return home
inside my heart i never felt so alone
they offered their deepest sympathies
now all ive left of you are distant memories
memories of which shall never part
memories living deep inside my heart

Wonderful thought of memories of a departed loved one! A classic tribute to soldiers who left! A 10.
