Empty boots
Stand at attention
Quietly beside the door
They appear to be waiting
For orders
To march back into war
So many times they’ve carried
Their brave soldier home
From bloody battles
Fiercely fought
Across the entire globe
Their mission always
To defend freedom
At home
And on foreign land
These boots now
Remain at rest
In silence,
They still stand
As a legacy
To the sacrifice
That their courageous soldier
Selflessly earned
They wait, unaware
That they’ve taken
Their final step
They wait, unknowing
That their soldier
Drew his final breath
