To Martyrs … with love

I know you died

So that I can live

I know you died

For the cause that we believe

So that we are at peace

Live and let live

I know before you died

You had promised

To take your parents for vacation during winter

To help your daughter this semester

To your wife , a great deal of laughter

But you broke your promise

You died

You took a bullet

So that I will live , I will survive

I heard , your parents look at your picture on the wall

Your daughter is learning with a great zeal

Your wife is still taking time to heal

Because you took a bullet

So that I can live , I will survive

I will live and tell your story

I will take your gallant to glory.
