From Chicago's edge where the skyline gleams, A young man rose with determined dreams.
A voice for truth, for faith✝️, for right,
He carried God's word into the fight.
With Bible 📖 in hand,a patriot's heart ♥️
He sought to defend what set us apart
A nation 🇺🇲founded on freedom's call,
He spoke with compassion & love for all
Erika stood as his steadfast wife,👩❤️👨
Together they built a faithful life
2 children 👧👧 now will bear his name
& carry the torch of his noble flame 🔥
Tho darkness struck from a rooftop high,
His spirit ascends where angels 😇 fly
No bullet can silence the Word he spread
No assassin can tarnish the path he led
He taught that faith was more than creed
It lives in our actions, our love, our deeds
Conservative values with kindness sewn,
He made compassion his cornerstone
Thru Turning Point he gave a stage
To youth to carry the cause w/ age
A mentor, leader, brother, friend,
Whose mission of truth will never end
His laughter 😄warmed, his kindness stayed
For neighbors in need, his hand was laid
And tho the storm has claimed his voice,
In heaven 🕊️ now he will rejoice
America grieves, her flag bows low,
The fields of Utah weep in woe
But hope remains where his words were sown
In many hearts who call him their own
Remember the man who prayed with might🙏
Who stood for freedom, for God, for light
Tho taken too soon, his witness remains,
In the gospel he loved, in lives he changed
So Erika, dear, & children too,
The nation now stands in grief with you
For Charlie lives where no shadows fall,
In Christ's embrace, who conquers All🙏🕊️✝️♥️🇺🇲
