Poem: "Loved and Lost"

“Loved and Lost”

Wealth is not limited to the financial realm
Defined only by currency, dollars and cents

No…wealth includes the gain and the increase
The joy and the brilliance that they represent

Our loved ones have left…but memories remain
We’ve lost the visible… but love is eternal

We mourn and we weep,,, we grieve and we pause
Yet we persevere with a flame that’s internal

We honor the VICTORS! They departed victorious!
They fought to the end and they WON our hearts

As we ponder and consider, reminisce and meditate
We are grateful and thankful for the support of S.T.A.R.
