“We Remember Them”
At the rising of the sun and its going down,
All:….We remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
All:….We will remember them.
At the opening buds and in the rebirth of spring,
All:….We remember them.
At the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer,
All:….We remember them.
At the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn,
All:….We remember them.
In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
All:...We will remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength,
All:….We will remember them.
When we are lost and are sick of heart,
All:….We remember them.
When we have Joys we yearn to share,
All:….We remember them.
So long as we live, they too shall live,
For they are now a part of us,
As we remember them.
