Fallen Soldier
She stood there waiting, waiting patiently until his return;
A man of forever, and forever for him, her love would burn.
He chose the path of a protector, and protect is what he would do;
Traversed the desert sands, sands of equality for me and you.
A weapon in his hand, handing down justice the only way he knew;
To come back to her was his plan, but plans often don’t come true.
She stood there awaiting a knock, the knock that was finally heard on her door;
Ran anxiously to greet the knocker, but it is not the knocker she was waiting for.
The news brought tears of disbelief, never would she believe that loneliness was her fate;
So she stands there waiting for her man of forever; and forever is what she will wait.
