Father, brave warrior.

Now my days are cold and through.
Show me the way I'm lost with out you.
Falling down with no safety net.
Crying a water fall of tears from regret.

Seen so many dreadful sights.
In the dreams that haunt me every night.
Wishing, praying for your company.
Christmas and birthdays feel so lonely.

Sweet memories remain in my heart.
Still got the photograph you tore in half.
I'm reaching out but I cant touch your face.
I can hear your voice, getting further away.

The smell of you still on my clothes
The sound of you constantly echoes.
Every waking moment.
Every time I try to sleep.
Its you I am calling
As if I thought you would hear me.

Silence still plays a whisper.
Forgotten dreams I continue to miss ya
Wait at the window for you to arrive.
Kids asking were u are with tears in their eyes.

The scent of you remains so strong.
Its almost as if you were never gone.
And ill miss you more and more each day.
As time passes ill gather that your far away.

As the rain falls and my tears drops are hidden.
Ill say the words that seem so forbidden.
Kids, your daddy died in the war.
He wont be back.
He’s gone for sure.

I no he is happy because look at the trees.
Blowing so calmly along to the breeze.
I no he is safe because look at the sun.
Shining just like a new life has begun.

Daddy died for a great cause.
Serving his country in the war.
Visiting his grave felt weird at first.
But it’s an every day pleasure.
Even when weathers at its worst.

A flower and a kiss
Right there upon your name.
A husband and a father, a brave warrior here lay.
