Remembrance and Gratitude

It abounds in full circles; Tears flowing in the raging river of remembrance and gratitude. Let me be your ladder, I will never leave you on your own. Let me be your ladder, I will never let you drown. Develop relationships with the dead, make them all your own. I stayed with you in your time of need, you stood by me while I died for you. Now I walk where the land meets your sea, waiting to find some calm tide. May it come, or may it not- I recall your eyes just the same. In full circle are tributaries of sorrow, the dreams you left behind. The ideas we try to live for you, the days we spend in recollection and recompense- We live our lives where the land meets your seas.
