We Walk

We walk with honor
     for those who have survived.
We walk with courage
     for those still fighting the fight.
We walk with dignity
     for those unable to walk themselves.
We walk in memory
     for those we have lost along the way.
We may be cold and tired
     our feet may be sore
     we may feel unable to take another step.
Through the coldest rains
     hottest days and darkest nights
     guided by the gentle light of the luminaria.
Knowing why we are here
     friends, family, loved ones,
     and those we have yet to meet.
We walk.
