Dear brother John
You gave your life to service
Many don’t remember

Dear brother John
Your heart bled for the helpless
Tired, yet unselfish

You did the things unpopular to do
Knowing it was never about you

Dear brother John
Though much is never written
There’s a book above us

And years from now
If history should forget you
The angels still remember

They know your name
