Unknown Soldiers Grave

Struggling to put face and name together You passed so long ago it is difficult to recall Those bright hazel eyes that sparked of life Dirty blonde hair as it shone in the daylight Gone in the autumn you fell with the leaves But you won’t return with the natal of spring They regret and apologize for wars long over Now old and crippled time cannot return to me I have wept at your loss and done nothing To repay the heavy burdened debt I carry You were someone’s son and lover Felled by my eye and bullet.
