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.
