dogs tsila's blog: "by....redo..Billy Lost"

Mourn not for me this task that I set myself to do
It is just an expression of the love I have for you
I take my self into battle and know that I may die
when I am gone I heartedly beg you do not cry
It is I who volunteered to give my life as a Marine
so that you could live your life as you have been
I will die with honor, the same way that I did live
But it is not for honor that my one life I shall give
It is a duty of the heart for those that I love so
you my fellow countrymen are why I freely go.
So do not shed a tear for me when I am dead
but pay due respect to those left in my stead.
