Brave Soldier
David Daniels

They were in love
They were young
They spent there days at the lake
Summer had begun

They were soul mates
They were meant to be together
She said, "I love you"
He said, "I love you too, always and forever"

Then one day they met at the lake
She knew that he had something to say
A tear appeared in her eye
When he said that he was going away

He said he had to fight
In the war across the world
But even though he was leaving
She'd always be his girl

She couldn't understand
Why he had to go to war
But she knew he wanted to serve his country
Like his father years before

Before he left he said, "Don't worry"
And that everything would be alright
So he packed his bags and off he went
To the Middle East to fight

Everyday she read his letters
And they would make her laugh
He sent pictures of him and his army buddies
So she would have plenty of photographs

But then the letters stopped coming
And she wondered why
Until she read the telegram
That said her love had died

At the funeral she was angry
She wanted to be his wife
Instead he served his country
And ended up giving his life

Now she places flowers on his grave
But she no longer feels anger or hate
Because one day she'll see her brave soldier again
Waiting for her at Heavens gate
