Memorial Day

I Stand before You

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 when 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.
SP5 Roger J. Robicheau, US Army
