We Remember Them
In the rising of the sun
and in its going down
we remember them:
In the blowing of the wind
and in the chill of winter,
we remember them.
In the opening of buds
and in the warmth of summer,
we remember them:
In the rustling of leaves
and the beauty of autumn,
we remember them.
In the beginning of the year
and when it ends,
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 have joys
we yearn to share,
we remember them.
So long as we live
they too shall live,
for they are now a part of us
as we remember them.

Please don't cry, Anna Lynn. I'm bringing you home though I know you wanted to be
The first girl in that wonderful home but I'm bringing you back home to me,
To wait 'til another body is formed to bear your sweet little soul.
So living on earth will wonderful be, because you are healthy and whole.
I know you were willing to wear a body with all of it's earthly flaws
For you wanted to be where you knew you'd be loved, and probably also because
In that home there's a nice big brother who is healthy, happy, and strong.
I understand why you wanted to go now and wanting to go wasn't wrong.
But I love you too much to let you go. Be patient and soon you'll see
The life that lies ahead of you will be all that you want it to be.
