At the rising of the Son

We do not forget

Those of us who may never havefacedconflict

I to will not forget

The youngster from our youth venture

Whose funeral I attended

The visit to broken parents

The search and talk with distorted  siblings

 We may not have fought

But we waited

We prayed

We grieve

When you did not return

 We did not fight

But we prayed

Waited

Rejoiced

Today we give thanks 

Perhaps we also grieve some more

But today is your moment

Stand proud

Know we are still with you.
