Remember Me ...

Remember Me …

Please remember me when you rise and shine
And wake up to greet the day.
I’ve been on patrol through the long, dark night
To defend the USA.

Please remember me when you take a bath
With your soap and your shampoo
‘Cause my combat gear has been worn for days,
But no problem; I’ll make do.

Please remember me when you drive to work
In your air conditioned car.
I’ve been trudging on through the desert sun
But it could be worse, by far.

Please remember me when you’re at the store
And you shop for food to eat.
All my meals are flavored with sand and dust,
As I chow down in the heat.

Please remember me when you celebrate
At a party with champagne.
I will stay right here and I’ll do my job
And I never will complain.

Please remember me when you go to sleep
As you lay there in your bed
And please think of those who have fought for you,
All the injured and the dead.

In your daily life, at least now and then,
Won’t you please remember me?
I have sacrificed, but I’ve persevered
So that people can live free.
