Suddenly on that day

You walked into my life

I then instinctively knew

It would always be you

I was Capt C____

The General was boss

But everyone there knew

The Sgt Major was in command

When you stood there 

Proudly with those stripes

With a smile on your face

The old man (General) knew 

From wars long past

That it was actually you

In total command

The room stood still 

As you briefed us all

The mission was risky 

Lives may be lost

The scent of fear strong

But the General knew

That you had full control

You gave us confidence 

Lifted our spirits high

Calmness prevailed 

No longer was there gloom  

Proudly with those stripes

You stood so very tall

With those masculine eyes

Always scanning the room 

Watching our every move

Leaving zero doubt 

That It was you

In full command

On that day it was then

That I suddenly knew

I was deadly in love with you 

Many years have since passed 

We came back alive

But it still matters now 

You gave your life

And I had lost you 

My heart still cries 

The world is better place

Always thanks to you

Sleep well my Darling

I will always miss you

With all of my heart

Love you forever 

We're still alive

Because it was you 

Who led the charge

And you gave it all
