Remembering and giving pause,
for the sacrifice to a cause.
A dream, a promise, an ideal.
A destination far off still.
Honored kinsmen, brothers in arms,
courageous, in the face of harm.
Empty spaces, in our ranks,
We bow our heads, and give thanks.
As storms rage and do not quit,
and forces demand one to submit,
with joy do keep your candle lit,
for you are in the world but not of it.
This is not the best audio. Recorded on my phone camera in my dining room. But here I am singing a song.
