Remembrance

As the tragedy of night transcends And the memory of twilight ends Flashes of a visage gone Deeds of those who’ve cherished long Dance within thoughts in my head Away from truth which we might dread. So long hold we our cherished dear Rejecting thoughts or any fear That may confront with any harm Towards those contained within our hearts Unfortunate the truth we dread For in the end it is what’s said When those we love we can’t defend From tragedy already met. Although our feelings thoughts to cry Tis better this we don’t deny For understand there is a time To mourn…no greater loss sublime . And as you ponder how to fend Your greatest council comes from them Their memories, their hopes, their dreams Are part of you and so you’ll see That within us they have survived Providing us the will to strive.
