| In Memory Of A Soldier...A Friend Not everyone could understand all that you went through Not everyone could understand the thought of actually loosing you I remember you had said you were ready to do what you had to do A chance to serve your country, to uphold the Red, the White, and the Blue The day that we met you became my respected friend I didn’t want this to happen and I didn’t want it to end I remember how you wanted to go, to do what was right Even though you would be so far from home, you wanted to be next to your friends and fight You always had that true warrior soul inside I also knew that you weren’t about to stay behind You were an amazing soldier, with all your values you stood tall And for your country and its cause you have gave your all So many things are taken for granted each and everyday And with your life you had to pay You gave the greatest sacrifice that anyone could give And I know that you did this without regret so that others could happily live My heart hurts so much and I cant help but cry There’s such an awful pain inside and all I can seem to ask is why? I still to this day don’t understand it all Like why it was you that had to fall I even catch myself asking God why and how Why couldn’t you be standing here now? I wish that you were here so that we could all hold you tight But at least in my dreams I will see you tonight I wanted to tell you no matter how much we change and grow You will always remain in our hearts because we love you so We may not know or truly understand But at least we know you are in that Promised Land All theses tears may relieve the pain in our hearts But at least this is where we will never part We might still ask God why all this sadness and pain But even God knows there will be sunshine after this rain Even the hurt as he called you away You must know that in our hearts you will always stay I can’t exactly find all the words left untold That truly describe all this pain that I hold Tears seem to flow like rivers from our reddened eyes And my heart feels so dark like a gray stormy sky It’s just so unbelievably hard to say goodbye To such a wonderful friend that has died Days seem filled with constant heartache and nights seem so full of unsleeping sorrow It makes me think all the time, will it be like this tomorrow? And with theses new tears swelling and falling from my eyes, I now stop to say a goodbye We will meet again one day on high For I know that death is never just the end I know in my heart I will see you again So goodbye for now... My fellow soldier, a warrior, a hero, my Friend! Lester buddy, I'm gonna miss you. Trevor |
