WE REMEMBER HIM

In the rising of the sun, and in its going down, we remember him; In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter, we remember him; In the warmth of the sun and the peace of summer, we remember him; In the rustling of the leaves and the beauty of autumn, we remember him; In the beginning of the year and when it ends, we remember him; When we are weary and in need of strength, we remember him; When we are lost and sick at heart, we remember him; When we have joys we yearn to share, we remember him; So long as we live, he too shall live, for he is now a part of us, as we remember him.
