I stand before you all today

But not one eye can see my way



My time arrived, to leave this earth

A fact so planned, to every birth



It happened where I had to go

My torch for life was so aglow



I transferred while in uniform

Protecting freedom, through a storm



Should I resent I died for you

Not on my life, red white and blue



Please help my family through each day

Tell all my friends, try not to stray



And of the country I did love

Do think of me, through God above



Your memories, brought forth this day

Send love to us, who could not stay
