Today's Pledge
Cheers to the lost,
the fallen and gone.
Cheers, the best I can say today
of that the endless, final cost.
Cheers, all I have in me today
after missing you another damned dawn.
All that your life has come to;
every lesson, every laugh,
every memory and moment -
to a memorial, to a toast.
I have only this today, only words,
and your name said forevermore.
I can only hope it is enough.
