Detail of a work in progress

Grief

At the rising sun and at its going down;
We remember them.

At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter;
We remember them.

At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring;
We remember them.

At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer;
We remember them.

At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of the autumn;
We remember them.

At the beginning of the year and when it ends;
We remember them.

As long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us as We remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength;
We remember them.

When we are lost and sick at heart;
We remember them.

When we have decisions that are difficult to make;
We remember them.

When we have joy we crave to share;
We remember them.

When we have achievements that are based on theirs;
We remember them.

For as long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us as, we remember them.
