Under the deep crimson twilight
And the dream weaved willow tree
On that hilltop I watch the brink of night
And tears made it hard for me to see.
I know that now your free
From all these ties that bind
My soul will wash away the debris
That you selfishly left behind.
But I believe that you couldn’t find
The truth in all my prayers for you
Our destinies still intertwine
Don’t worry I will make it through.
I look to you for truth and hope.
Because you are my god
You were my life for so long
This smile is only a façade.
When you find heaven,
hold your head up high
Hold your salute until they let you in
Your soul they cannot deny.
Watch over me for all eternity,
Help me live as you did
Be my guardian angel
Until I join you, god forbid.

Author notes
Option 2 "My guardian angel" It is kind of a generic title, so It won't be the title of my poem. This is dedicated to a friend of mine.

Very good poem dedicated to an American hero. A special place in my heart for all those who served our country in the armed forces.
