For Holly and Ed, we love and miss you so much!
- Jack and Austin
This loss of all innocence
The hands that guard us often wither
And leaving us so exposed
Naked to the wolves
Away from our fathers and mothers
Who once sheltered us from
The terror of the world
Who will hold us now that they have gone?
Left to be embraced by fear and loss
Whose gentle hands rock us to sleep
Singing vicious lullabies to us
The grim reminder of all
We have lost, of our fallen kin
The innocence lost
So we turn within, grown into adults
And longing to be children again
Just to hear your voice once more
Just to hear your voice once more...
We saw the hands of the Gods that day
In quick wings held steady
A gaze across time, a last goodbye
And hope took flight
We may never see your face again
But I know you haven't left us
Your work lives on in me
Your heart live on in me
The current ran against our feet
Another loss to nourish
The river you became
Rich earth contains
Memories of past days
The soil that embraced you
And seeds for future hopes
The air I breath again
The cycle spins on!
Neither lost nor forgotten
With sun shining down
We walk within you in the day
We sleep beneath you in the night
And remember you all of our lives
Our lives
All of our lives
Our lives
All of our lives
