A Wife Fears...Your Husband Died In Iraq, Signed........ Poem by Philip Lore

Cathy, If its meant for me to die,
Please sweet baby, don't you cry.
I know about dying,
Taking my last sweet breath,
Please be strong, to explain my death.
Explain to all why I died this day,
I believe in God,
Just kneel and pray.

So if they carry me from the battle zone,
Be assured, I never died alone.
I know my memory won't fade away,
Remember the promises we made that day.

To have my name etched on the cold wall,
To show your soldier, stood proud, stood tall.

Did my fignting, VietNam and Iraq,
Cathy, darling, don't look back.
So I know that you would miss me,
Don't just look around,
Just look up to the Lord in Heaven,
With Him I'll be safe and sound.

I'm sure my memory will never fade,
Don't let tears, smear your pretty blue eyes.
I have my faith, my trust in God,
That death, won't be my fate.
