Today we said goodbye

I couldn't help but cry

He hugged me tight,

And told me everything will be alright.

I watched him flee

As I knealed on my knee

I smiled at the sight,

Knowing that someday we'll reunite.

My sleepless nights,

Were full of frights

I felt loss,

Is his life at cost?

I'm overflowing with worry,

It was hard to burry.

No news came,

And I don't know who to blame

Is he at a bomb site?

Please tell me he's alright

What should I do?

I wish I can undo.

He's gone,

The person I always lean on

I can't hug him anymore,

And that makes my heart feel sore

Should I mourn?

Feel torn?

Or be proud,

Knowing that he helped out a crowd.

I look around,

Millions of poppies and crosses surround.

They represent his silhouette,

And I'll never forget.
