Will You Remember Me? Poem by Timber Koleden
Will You Remember Me?
Do you remember me?
I was the husband who left his wife
When duty called I laid down my life
Because I loved her more than life itself
Do you remember me?
I was the father who left his child
When tyranny reigned I fought in the wilds
Because I wanted to see him again
Do you remember me?
I was the brother who left his sister
As my plane went down how I missed her!
I only wanted her to be safe and sound
Do you remember me?
I was the son who left his mother
To bring freedom to the slaves who hungered
Because that's the man you raised to be
Do you remember me?
I was the fiancé who missed his fiancée
I died in the trenches on the darkest of days
Because you were the light I loved
Do you remember me?
I am the student who left his study
And died in marshes cold and bloody
Because heroes aren't only to be found in books
Do you remember me?
I am the nurse who left her brother
And was shot by the brother of another
Because I cared enough to heal
Will you remember me?
I am the soul of the fallen watchers
Those who stood over you as you slept—protecters
And now we are dead and gone
Will you remember me?

Absolutely beautiful poem; I love how you bookended each stanza, and the way it all flowed and tied perfectly together. I agree with you, may we ever remember those who gave so much.
Stanzas 6 and 7 really connected with me, having brothers and sisters who are heroes of the kind that are not only found in books, and I understand the sentiments of the nurse, as I am also a nurse who just wants to heal. Amazingly written!
Indeed, may we never forget those who died so that we might live in freedom. Thank you for sharing this tribute!
