Death of a Soldier
(Do Not Mourn Me)
by Shannon Stinson
Do not mourn me
As my death has shown
For I left this life
Doing what I have known
Though my body is gone
I am still here
Staying close by
Those I have held dear
Do not mourn me
Though I have passed
Your strong love for me
Will make memories last
I was known
Until my end
As the one
You could call friend
Do not mourn me
Though I am gone
For I am with you
As my spirit lives on
Written 5/5/06
In loving memory of Sergeant Joseph “Joey” Proctor of the Indiana National Guard.
Editor's Note: This poem was written by my sister at the death of her brother-in-law who was killed in the line of duty in Iraq. Please say a prayer for all our brave servicemen and women who put their lives in danger so that we may live in peace.
