Quiet
Quietly moving past eternity
Into depths full of ecstasy.
Pause
Step forth into your realm
Saturated with the crown
Of great things done and to do.
All
All this, this is you.

We must remember with hearts filled
With emotion seeing the way
Those who fought for freedom
On this very day.
Somber moments seeking the truth
Listening heartbeats showing the route.
You battled in cold, fought in the dark
Never once saying no more, so far.
Onward, forward you did advance
Not thinking or fearing any consequence.
Battles are fought, some never won
But moments of glory reign
Showing the courage
Of our daughters, our sons.
Hold that courage proudly
You stood in the moment
You wear the battle scar.
All I can do is salute and give honour to
The brave soldier you are.

All three in a row
Sitting, resting nowhere to go.
Pleasant and mild
The height of haute style
Sitting, resting
Certainly to be there awhile.
Ah, doesn’t it make you smile.

In his eighteenth year
He left your side
Left a wondrous life in which
He travelled far and wide
And did amazing things.
Not one to cringe or hide
Courageous to the end
Standing bravely by your side
Still now, as he did then.
His soul will help
Will guide you thru all this sadness
And then he’ll pass in time
To be in your heart forever
Never to leave again.
Please feel no regrets
He knows you done your best
Loved him like no one else
Could ever do.
Now is his time to hold you up
To steady, not to fall
For you see
He’ll forever be standing close by
The both of you
You and the man he loved
Called Steve.

I can’t make it happen
Only make it so
It can happen.
