We Hold Dear

Everything we hold dear,
Nothing stays forever,
Some are gone with the night,
Our loved ones part from us,
Keepsakes left in the light.

Everything we hold dear,
Forever remembered,
Scars hide in our chamber,
Some long for the gone days,
Until their last slumber.

Everything we hold dear,
Like stars in the night sky,
Like a blossoming meadow,
Nothing brings lasting joy,
Each becomes a shadow.

Everything we hold dear,
Symphony of the Soul,
Tranquil in turbulence,
Stillness in the tempest
Carousel of silence.
