The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

In the mist of the morning, she lays on the grave
A bouquet of roses in soft gentle blue
A tear of remembrance falls down her face
Linking her heart with her soul all anew.

Her mind starts to wonder, it's drifting in time
Back to the days of sunshine and charm
Their love was so simple, and so sublime
When she was tucked safely in his loving arms.

But the war came so fast and it took him away
To a land filled with death at the sight of a gun
And the tanks caused explosions almost every day
Killing the brothers, the fathers, and sons.

He promised to love her, and return to her side
When the war and the fighting were through
But now empty memories in her heart confide
For many years passed, without a clue.

He never returned though he promised that day
And not one person, knows where he's gone
She knows if he lived he'd find her someway
Because they had an unbreakable bond.

So each year that passes, she places the rose
Upon the tomb of the soldiers unnamed
In remembrance of all that died in the throws,
Of the war, that her one love, had claimed.
