They Not Be Forgotten
Brother
when you weep for me, Remember that it was meant to
be.
Lay me down and when you leave, Remember I'll be at
your sleeve.
In every dark and choking hall, I'll be there as you
slowly crawl.
On every roof in driving snow, I'll hold your coat
and you will know.
In cellars hot with searing heat, At windows where
a gate you meet,
In closets where young children hide, You know I'll
be there at your side.
The house from which I now respond Is overstaffed
with heroes gone.
Men who answered one last bell, Did the job and did
it well.
As firemen, we understand, That death's a card dealt
in our hand --
A card we hope we never play, But one we hold there
anyway.
That card is something we ignore, As we crawl across
a weakened floor.
For we know that we're the only prayer, For anyone
that might be there.
So remember, as you wipe your tears, The joy I knew
throughout the years.
As I did the job I loved to do, I pray that thought
will see you through.
They
did the job they loved to do,
and now we must pray that memory will see us through.
May God bless each of them, and all of you.
read by Senator Edward Kennedy,
at the Memorial Service for the Worcester Six. |
