He is not coming back.

Death is so final.

He is not coming back,

All the arrangements have been,

He is not coming back,

It seems so final,

He is not coming back,

He was in battle that you both knew that he would lose in the end,

He is not coming back.

Please except this flag in the honor of your husband. Words that place over and over,

He is not coming back,

No more funny jokes or those cute words that you and him only knew,

No more finish each other thoughts,

He is not coming back,

He is not coming back. It is time to start doing things on your own,

Guess what the next words are and probably the last ones you will remember always,

HE IS NOT COMING BACK!!!
