I Will Remember You






Tears, idle tears,

I know not what they mean.

Tears from the depth

of some divine despair

Rise in the heart

and gather to the eyes,

In looking on

the happy autumn-fields

and thinking of the days

that are no more.

*Tennyson*

Oh, Wounded Heart

Pages turned in books unread;

images of those long dead

march on cinematic reels

through endless time

that has not healed

this wounded heart.

Cadence drumming;

one by one

to stand before the wall they come.

Trembling fingers touch the names

of lost souls they have come to claim

with wounded heart.

Flag unfurled

on fluttered breeze;

a whispered prayer on bended knee.

Sorrow spent beside the wall

of names who made the final call...

Oh! wounded heart.

"War drew us from our homeland in the sunlit springtime of our youth.

Those who did not come back alive remain in perpetual springtime

forever young

And a part of them is with us always."
