NOVEMBER REFLECTION
In the rising of the sun & in it’s going down, we remember them.
In the blowing of the wind & in the chill of winter, we remember them.
In the opening of buds & in the rebirth of spring, we remember them.
In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer, we remember them.
In the rustling of leaves & in the beauty of autumn, we remember them.
In the beginning of the year & when it ends, we remember them.
When we are weary & in need of strength, we remember them.
When we are lost & sick at heart, we remember them.
When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember them.
So long as we live, they too shall live, for they are now a part of us,
As we remember them.
