Rember to rember me

I remember when i first met you
i didn't like you much
but we are family
so it's scary to know
that the kid i knew a few years ago has graduated
has become a soldier
a fighter
a protector of the country
i know you don't really care about me
but i care for you
and if i had to choose i would choose you over anything
so be careful out there
with those pirates in Somalia you told me about
fight like a warrior
but keep compassion in your heart
and every now and then think of me
that girl who shows up for family events that you barely know
but the thing is
i know you
and were family
so please watch out for yourself
stay safe
and remember to remember me
