Colours of life, living and love
Stood upon the Markers of the past
For the memories of those not recovered
Shown that they will never be forgotten
As when the love is revealed in display
They will always be amongst us
Even though they are always in our minds
We take this day to show the world
We are still a family
Proud of our past
Taking it into our future
Not totally gone
And not forgotten

* Springhill, Nova Scotia and some other mining towns here have a day when they go decorate the graves of their families. Many of these graves are empty as the ones named are entombed in the coal seams they were working*
