I came across a friend’s facebook page
Which is dedicated to him?
My heart was broken as the tears
Roll down my face.
All I could remember was
The fun and good times we
Had in High School
Every time we saw each other
In the hallway he would hug me
Falling Soldier
He lost his leg fighting for us
They gave him a purple
Heart.
He returns home a different man
It’s been over a year since he left us.
I’m missing him every day
The day of the news crush me
I find out on facebook.
I had to make sure they was talking
About the same guy I grew
Up with.
~Crying Now~
I know God had to call him home
It was his time.
It just hurt so many people
And broke their hearts.
A mom still in mourning
A sister still longing for
A hug from big brother
A little brother
Lost without his brother
Anymore.
~Falling Soldier~
I miss you
Wish you was still here
On EARTH with us
You’ll always be in my heart.
I’m longing for one of your hugs
Wish I had said goodbye the
Correct way.
I wasn’t ready to say bye
~Falling Soldier ~
