Home

I recount the ones I’ve lost 

Those who have preceded me 

Their achievements turned to smoke 

Their memories into ash

And their happiness evaporated from our hearts 

Life is paper thin

Each moment I hold dear…Each breath I esteem 

My soul stands indebted 

For their sacrifice of death has made me whole

Memories fade, many never remembered

Cease to ever exist, like words on paper charred in flame

Yes, life is ours to live, but not ours alone 

For we are all pilgrims, our journeys brief 

And memories is all we’ll ever be 

Life is paper thin
