I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A FATHER WHO CARED:
I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A MAN WITH ALL HE HAD HE SHARED;
I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A MAN AND HUSBAND WHO WAS LOYAL AND TRUE:
AND STOOD BY HIS WIFE THROUGH THICK AND THIN TOO;

I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A FRIEND:
WHO WAS REAL NOT PRETEND:
I WANT TO BE KNOWN AS A MAN WHO DIDNT CAUSE PAIN:
OR MAKE ANYONE ASHAMED:

I WANT TO BE A MAN TRUE TO HIS WORD:
FROM EVERYTHING THATS SAID AND HEARD:
I WANT TO BE A MAN WHO FEARS THE ALMIGHTY LORD:
I WANT TO BE A MAN WHO LIVES WITHIN HIS MEANS BY WHAT HE CAN AFFORD:

I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A CO-WORKER WHO REALLY TRIED:
WHO WORKED SO HARD AND DIDNT HIDE:
I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A MARINE WHO DID HIS BEST:
AND NOTHING LESS:

I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A GOOD MARINE WHO TOOK CARE OF HIS MEN ALL:
WHO STOOD BY HIS MEN THROUGH THICK AND THIN TALL:
I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A MARINE YOU COULD TRUST WITH YOUR LIFE:
AND JUST KNOW HE WAS THERE THROUGH ANY TURMOIL OR STRIFE:

I WANT TO BE KNOWN AS A FRIEND WHO NEVER FORGOT:
AND APPRECIATED YOU ALOT:
I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A SON:
WHO GREATLY LOVED HIS MOM AND DAD SINCE HIS LIFE BEGUN:

I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A BROTHER:
WHO LOVED HIS SISTER AND BROTHER GREATER THAN ANY OTHER:
I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A MAN WHO COULD FORGIVE:
THEN GO ON AND LIVE:

I WANT TO BE A MAN THAT WALKED WITH THE LORD:
AND WHOSE DREAMS SOARED:
I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A GREAT NEIGHBOR WHO WAS FRIENDLY AND NICE:
AND DIDNT HAVE A BAD VICE:

I WANT TO BE KNOWN AS A BOY AND MAN WHO NEVER USED ALCOHOL OR DRUGS:
AND NEVER HAD TO ACT LIKE A PUNK OR THUG:
I WANT TO BE A MAN WHO RESPECTED PEOPLE HE MET:
AND HAD NO REGRET:



I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A MAN WHO LOVED ANIMALS SO DEEP:
AND IN HIS HEART THERE LOVE HE WOULD KEEP:
I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A MAN WHO LOVED TO EAT:
AND TO LOOSE WEIGHT WAS A GREAT FEAT:

I WANT TO BE KNOWN AS A NEIGHBOR WHO WAS GOOD:
AND TO HELP ANYONE HE ALWAYS WOULD:
I WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR ALL THE GOOD I'VE DONE:
AND THAT I LAUGHED AND HAD MUCH FUN:

I WANT TO BE KNOWN FOR A MAN OF HIS WORD:
AND NOT A WORD OF GOSSIP FROM ME WAS HEARD:
I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A MAN WHO DREAMED:
AND WHO SAID WHAT HE MEANED:

I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS GENTLE AND KIND:
A GUY WHO WOULD HELP YOU IN A BIND:
I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A MAN WHO WOULD LAUGH AND SING:
AND TO OTHERS HAPPINESS HE WOULD BRING:

I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED AS A MAN WITH A GOOD HEART:
AND WHO WOULD FINISH WHAT HE WOULD START:



I WANT TO BE REMEMBERED IN THIS LIFE AS A MAN WHO HAD A PLAN:
AS A MAN THROUGH THE STRENGTH OF GOD DID PROUDLY STAND:
