As dawn quietly breaks
The morning unfurls its
gray wash over the flat countryside
A light mist seems to
drift over the fields
As we come together on
this day...
Many of us with dark
circles, puffy eyes, and grief stricken hearts
We struggle with one of
the worst parts about life
Saying the final
goodbye...
Today, we have an
official invitation to the dance of life
United we stand as one
And collectively we
mourn...
May the boldness in our
tears lend us the courage to transcend cynicism and fear
As hard as it is, our
vision of the world, now changed
Should not alter...
Let this be the spark
to re-light the fire within us all
Our spirit, and that of
the ones we love can never be extinguished
In fond memory and deep
remembrance we will fan the flame of those who have been lost
Because sometimes, all
that we can ever do is try...
Try to make a
difference in a world filled with so many differences
To try and change with
a world full of so many changes
And to forever remember
always
That tomorrow is never
promised...
Life unfortunately
reminds us of this today...
