At the rising of the sun and at it's going down,
We remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of the winter,
We remember them.
At the opening of the buds and the rebirth of Spring,
We remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer,
We remember them.
At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn,
We remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends,
We remember them.
As we celebrate Christmas and welcome in the New Year,
We remember them.
When we welcome the first cries of a newborn,
We remember them.
When we say our farewells at a funeral,
We remember them.
When we smell the aroma of their favorite food,
We remember them.
In the still of the night and in the darkness of our rooms,
We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live, for they are now a part of us as,
We remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength,
We remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart,
We remember them.
When we are hearts are filled with joy and crave to share,
We remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make,
We remember them.
When our achievements are based on theirs,
We remember them.
When we need a healing hand,
We remember them.
When we need a shoulder to lay our weary heads on
We remember them.
When we are in need of an emphatic ear to listen to our woes of distress,
We remember them.
When we hear the laughter of a child,
We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live, for they are now part of us as,
We remember them.
