What man fears not mortality
who stands in line to die
To lose the breath we hold so dear
yet for ourselves we cry
The strength of a mighty army
echo's from the boroughs
Combining humanities heart
with love from where it flows
___________________________
The quiet heart of the lonely
begs us all take a chair
Come sit at the table of man
break bread with all found there
She fed the souls each evening
round fires of brotherhood
Bringing like and not together
as each one knew she would
_____________________________
Where my own is but a lamplight
Illuminating one
Hers the love of a Mothers Heart
burned brilliant as the sun
So precious was the time we shared
for whom would you then cry
So sweet the nectar love conceals
don't let life pass you by
