Remembrance

There's a whisper on night's wind
moving through ages,
of acts performed on stages far from here.
The actors play parts
with hearts of conviction affecting ultimate interdiction
so we may rest easy, secure without fear.
The courage they command,
they demand of themselves
belies dangers surrounding their call.
For the theaters they play
are the grays of battle,
devoid of guarantees without fall.
Remember them now, remember them tomorrow,
remember them all days of the year.
Remember their sacrifice on distant stages of life,
so we may rest easy, secure, without fear.
