    I Remember You

     

    When I walk into my church,

    free and without fear,

    I remember you.

     

    When I see children playing in the school yard,

    girls and boys of all kinds,

    I remember you.

     

    When I see families working together,

    regardless of religion or nationality,

    I remember you.

     

    When I go to sleep

    without worry for my family's safety,

    I remember you.

     

    When I see our flag waving in front of my home,

    and when I can salute that flag without fear of reprisal,

    I remember you.

     

    When I remember you,

    I think of the sacrifices you made so I could have these things.

    I think of your commitment and your service

    beyond mere duty.

    I think of all that you have given

    so that I and those whom I love can be free.

     

    When I pray at night and give thanks

    for the blessings God has given,

    I remember you.
