I remember you�

I remember you;
Do you remember me?

You are long gone; your soul went to fly free�

I remember fighting beside you,
holding back the fear from coming through,
shoulder to shoulder you and I �stood
and when you fell, it was me
who staunched your wounds.

Do you remember me?

Throughout my life I have not forgotten you,
you haunt my dreams, the terror I saw your baby blues,
dying alone in a land that was unfamiliar and new.

I remember you�

Wait for me on the other side,
be my angelic guide,
take me to the fathers side
when my time finally arrives.

Do you remember me?
I will forever remember you
and shortly I will be there to join you too�

Rest in peace

Good luck!

Any death beyond outliving our body is a tragedy. War is wicked. Period.

A touching piece and lovely homage to all who sacrifice...even as a comp piece it is spot on.
