I Hope You'Ll Remember Me
To those who do not know me
I'm a husband, father, brother and son.
I accepted the call of my country
Now my race is run.
I died an angry death
Lying on foreign soil.
For my family and my country
In hope a terrorist, I might foil.
To the mother of my children
I hope you'll remember me.
As a good and loving husband
Just as I tried to be.
To my children Karen and Jacob
I hope you'll remember me.
As the dad you could always turn to.
I loved my family.
To my brother and my sister
I hope you'll remember me.
As a good and decent man
The way a brother should be.
To my mother and my father
I hope you'll remember me
As a loving, trusting son
Proud of me, I hope you'll always be.
To the Country that I served
I hope you'll remember me.
As a soldier, as an American
Who died for liberty.
Fear not your loss
For this I guarantee
I'll see you all in heaven
and I hope you'll remember me.
