That Day

Softly the sun comes up shades
Blue and gold shine down upon the field  
People can be seen getting out of cars
Clouds roll by letting sunshine fall upon the sea of stones

As the lone black car appears at the top of the hill
They all stop and turn and watch it...
As it draws closer  the HonorGuard prepare themselves for thier duty
The door is open and there .. in a metal box  lays a man that loved.
  
         He loved His country  even more so He loved her.... His babygirl

Carefuly He is taken to His final resting place..
The chaplin say's a few words last glances are given
She slowly walks to his side one last time..looking down
Tears flow as if like a river her ckeeks flushed and red

He hear's someone crying but yet He can not see who it is
She  leans over and ever so gently gives Him a finale kiss goodbye
His eyes flash open faster then lighting can stike the earth...
but sadly she can not see this


He tries to tell her not to cry that things will be fine
He longs to touch her soft body once more,to hold her,to kiss her
He tries so hard to touch her  but His hand is lifeless in that coffin
but in His mind He gently cups her cheek and whispers...

It's alright babygirl


        I will be waiting for you.. It's time that this soldier rest's

With that He fades away...with only His memory to stay with her

If ever she called upon Him  He would be there and protect her once again
As He did before
  

I do not normaly allow anyone to see my works
only One person has ever seen them
