Glory To The Departed Poem by Max Burchett

I had to be free.
Now I am gone,
But remember me
So freedom goes on.

Not an easy road to take.
Hope there is another way for you.
Pray it is not your fate
To die for freedom's cause, too.

Some are called upon
To suffer for all, to be free
So that life goes on,
Finally in peace and liberty, let it be.

No greater love for a friend,
Think of that if you think of me.
For you all, my life had to end.
All people have to be free.

Glory to the bravehearted!
Glory to the departed!
