Life is life and death is death. Until the time when East meets West.
Extend your arms, reach out your hands, Close your eyes & take a stand.
There they are, each one you knew, Now gone as others and so will you.
Parents left, then brothers, too. Sisters lingered as though they knew When they walked on, so would you.
A line was formed and except for War Each one came "home" to lay beside A wife, a child, in their own space.
You came and went leaving flowers for all, Knowing the day would come When you answered the call.
We wait for you to come and stay While now you turn and walk away. We too had hopes and plans like you.
Some were done and some remain Others we took into this grave. It's up to you to carry on.
