When I must leave you
for a little while
Please do not grieve
and shed wild tears
And hug your sorrow to
you through the years
But start out bravely
with a gallant smile;
Reach out your hand in
comfort and in cheer
And I in turn will comfort
you and hold you near;
And never, never be afraid
to die,
For I am waiting for
you in the sky!
OUR
HEROES !
Oh ! Our Astronauts, Our Heroes !
And you returned on your flight
Our Heroes ! Our Heroes !

Here is the letter that Lam Nguyen wrote to me when he sent me this beautiful
poem.
Federal Way, 12/02/03 To : Mr. Jeff Dyrek : A New SONG

I'm a Poet of Washington State. Right after the disaster of Columbia Shuttle on Feb.02/03, I wrote a special Poem named "Our Heroes!" in order to Honor All Seven Columbia Crew as Our outstanding Heroes of the whole world. My Poem was chosen to publish in 2 different Poetry Books : - "Garden of Youth" of the International Library of Poetry among over 2500 other Poems. - "Theatre of the Mind" on Noble House among 180 other Poems ( My Poem was printed on very first page). - My Poem was also chosen with other 33 best Poems to record in "CD Album" named "The Sound of Poetry". A month later, a very talent American Song Writer read my Poem in the Poetry Book with his great emotional feeling and he decided to set my Poem to The Music. And His new SONG just done on November 23/03 with his satisfaction. Mr. RONALD D. HEGE (Nickname is RONNIE HAIG) is living at Indianapolis. He wrote over 500 songs in 45 years experiences. He is a Song Writer, a Musician, a Performer and a Producer. So, His New Song "My Heroes" will be warm welcomed by most people around the world. Why? Because every people always love and honor The Astronauts as the most outstanding persons in the whole world. Their contributions to The Free World were so wonderful !!!
