Only a Memory

Tall, dark and handsome, with many special charms

Working hard to get ahead, giving his all for his family and country

Dressed in his CAMO's ready to fight, then changing into his dress blues to salute the arms

Passionate, caring, giving his all, wanting to be the best he can be, just trying too hard

Honorable mentions, awards, certificates, and patches, prove this marine could be seen on any billboard billiard

Now all of these things sit upon a dusty shelf, a life soon to change

Forever true, forever, red, white and blue, never again to be seen, a love  tragedy

Remembering your words Semper Fi, was this you, or just a lie

Now only a memory and some photos remain, about a once upon a time

Tall, Dark, Marine
