A Fallen Soldier's Plea
A Fallen Soldier’s Plea
Do not grieve
I ask you to believe
I went over there to fight
For what was right
I answered the call
And gave it my all
For all of you who do not believe
I gave you the right to disbelieve
I ask that you pray
For the day
When hatred and bloodshed cease
And there will be peace
For some of us to Arlington we will go
For me, I don’t know
But I do know where I went
And I went where I was sent
I gave my life
For my country, my children, and my wife
I am at heaven’s gate
And there I shall wait
When that wreath is placed for the soldier unknown
You are not alone
I am with you
Ready to do it again anew
We shall go into the jaws of death
Until our last breath
Conquer what is wrong
And come out strong
This I ask of all of you
