The rose symbolizes you,

The thorn me

I grow on you cause

Your what I need

Without you I don’t exist, become worthless

You give me beauty

And

I in return protect your growth

Thousands of tears fall
         As the plane rolls in
Flags wave vigorously
        Cheering begins

The stairs roll up
        Our hero’s descend
The deployment is over
        Worrying can end

Arms outstretched
        Loved ones embrace
Happiness explodes
        Amazing Grace
