When a special person passes,
We weep tears of sadness.
We remember the joy they brought to our lives,
But there is still that emptiness.
Even though that special person is gone,
Their spirit remains forever.
Our hearts will continue to ache,
But we will forget them never.
Salute the flag as it waves proudly
And remember how brave your soldier was.
Let this bring a smile of happiness
And allow your heart to warm.
Think not of the loss but of the joy
Of having this person in your life.
In memory on this anniversary
of your loved one's death.
