I Remember You
When
I stop and store with a gleam
In my eye wondering why so young
You had to die.
I Remember You
When the canons roared with
Fire and steel, the lead flew
Straight, and true, as you took
The hill, like a soldiers do.
I Remember You
Whenever I go-I hear the
Whisper of wind calling your
Name-saying you were brave,
And strong, filled with courage
Not seeking fame.
I Remember You
As you traveled far, leaving
Home, and hearth so all alone,
With head held high, with a last
Good-by.
I remember you
You are my friend and my
Hero-if you were here I
Would tell you so. You gave
Your all to freedoms call,
Alas, I cry as I kneel, and
Feel, your name on a
Cold cold wall.
