And here I stand, with grief and blazing ire,
To mourn a voice who lit the hearts to fire:
Charlie Kirk, patriot of steadfast creed,
Who sowed in youth the everlasting seed
Of truth, of courage, of a Christian flame,
And bore the cross of honor in his name.
A husband, father, warrior of the word,
Whose cry for freedom through the nation stirred;
And though the tyrants cast him from the height,
He walks with Jesus Christ crowned in endless light.
Beside great Donald Trump he marched, unbowed, unbent,
And for the cause of liberty he went.
Angels, guard this sentinel of truth,
This champion who gave his soul and youth-
And may his voice, through heaven's halls still ring,
A trumpet blast: Let freedom's children sing!
