My Dear Rachael
© 2025 David L. Wermers – Written:2-10-2025

Chorus
Let me tell you about a hero … while my thoughts are clear
How you remember your father … Rachael … I hope will start right here

I know you never got to meet him … he was taken much too soon
So, I want to tell you … my dear Rachael … about a day in June

Verse
It was just an ordinary … flight in many ways
Your mom and sisters waited for the tragic news for days
We can’t control the world around us … things don’t go as planned
I know there’s a higher power … and we’ll never understand

Instrumental

Bridge
We said our goodbyes … and wiped our eyes … as kind words were said
And many prayers … to the Man upstairs … as we bowed our heads

Chorus
Let me tell you about a hero … while my thoughts are clear
How you remember your father … Rachael … I hope will start right here

I know you never got to meet him … he was taken way too soon
You were just a baby … my dear Rachael … on that day in June
