A Hero's Rest
Lay down, my love
And rest in peace
I know you are tired
So do what you please
You have done great, my love
But it's time to rest
Close that adorable eyes of yours
And go to sleep
I see you protest
But I insist
I can already feel you
Slipping away
From my warm touch
And my warm embrace
You concede
And slowly close your eyes
I watched as you take your last breath
And fall limp in my arms
I cry at my loss
But there's nothing I can do
I hug your cold body against mine
And feel your lifeless soul
I love you, my love
Never forget that
You're such a great soldier
A hero of mine
