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.
