Tears fall
Hearts break
Glass shatters
Friends scatter
Playground chatter
Childhood dreams
Trickle quiet streams
Twilight's shadows
Haunt open meadows
God is nigh
The bugle sings
A warrior gains angel wings
Peace springs
A brother's embrace
Across the veil of grace
A gold star hangs
A drumbeat bangs
Flag draped
Soul's quake
Night calls
