Heroes Poem by Marvin Brato Sr

Do not grieve for us
be proud on our behalf
let our death inspires
all those who still live.

We had fallen in the battlefield
shed our blood on the arid ground
so that a seed of peace may grow
nurture it and let it bear good fruit.

We died for you who seek peace
we fought our enemies without fear
for we believed what we came to fight for
with love for our country we offered our lives.

So wives, parents, brothers and sisters
remember us when you enjoy normalcy
enjoy the life you have with your brethren
so that the legacy that we died for shall stay.
