For the love of all of us
You left us all
For the love of father and mother
You responded to the call

For the love of life and love
You gave all that you had
For love of freedom's gift
You wanted us to have

For the love of country
For love of all that's right
You left behind all that you know
For the love of everlasting light

For the love within your heart
You bless us all, each one
We will always love you for the sacrifice
Of all your life and love
