I never dreamed it would be me,
My name for all eternity,
Recorded here at this hallowed place,
Alas, my name no more my face.
In the line of duty, I hear them say;
My family now the price will pay.
My folded flag stained with their tears:
We only had those few short years.
The badge no longer on my chest,
I sleep now in eternal rest.
My sword I pass to those behind,
And pray they keep this thought in mind.
I never dreamed it would be me,
And with heavy heart and bended knee,
I ask for all here from the past;
Dear God, let my name be the last.
