Pat Tillman
Today the nation mourns
Every soldier who has died in this war
And as the days go by
No doubt well mourn so many more
They come from all backgrounds
Every corner, every place
But today one has died
Who gives every soldier a familiar face
His name was Pat Tillman
Who once played in the N.F.L.
He played as he did everything
With all he had and played it well
But when his nation was attacked
He, as many, chose to stand tall
Turning his back on fame and fortune
Without hesitation answered freedoms call
Now he as all the others
Comes home to take his rest
To be remembered by all Americans
As one of our best
There are no great words of comfort
No wisdom to take the pain away
Perhaps it will be enough
The flag flies free today
