DO YOU REMEMBER (c)Ron Burres



DO YOU REMEMBER

Ron Burres 5/27/2010
DO YOU REMEMBER
FROM HIS WHEEL CHAIR 
HE SPOKE
DO YOU REMEMBER HOW HARD WE FOUGHT
DO YOU REMEMBER WHY
DO YOU REMEMBER THE RIGHTS WE SOUGHT
WHEN WE WENT TO DIE
IT WASN’T JUST ABOUT OUR PRIDE
ALTHOUGH WE HAD THAT TOO
WE CHOSE TO GO AND JOIN THE FIGHT
BRINGING  JUSTICE TO OUR CAUSE 
TO ENSURE A HERITAGE JUST FOR YOU
EVEN THOUGH FREEDOM IS A RIGHT
IT IS SELDOM GIVEN FREE
GOD BLESS THE SOULS THAT GAVE THEIR LIVES
FOR STRANGERS LIKE YOU AND ME

ALWAYS REMEMBER WHY
