And so it begins - that some things last forevernThis spirit endure - the courage that failed them nevernSo let valor erase - the lies that soughtnTo deceive them.nnAnd so for now - I see it very clearlynA soldier in time - knows just what he holds dearlynnAnd so it became - that time was not on their side.nAnd yet it remains - until we breathe our last breath.nLike tears in rain - there is no shame iIn your death. n
