| On August 23 2001, a girl named Teresa Marie, who I knew as Arra from a message board, passed on into the Undying Lands. I wrote this for her and her parents. I look at it now,two years later, and think it isn't very well written at all, but I'm keeping it up anyway...... Memory I saw your ship sail As I stood on the edge Hands upon hilts We silently pledge Your life shall be cherished Though you've gone away Your spirit has left us But your memory will stay. The black flags....The White Tower I look to the Stars I know 't must be beautiful In the Lands where you are A short time of sunlight And now it is gone Your spirit has left us But your memory lives on. All Gondor is grieving As my tears form and fall We hope you're aware of How you touched us all We will wait and we'll whisper Your story wont end I know in my heart We will meet again. We'll wait and remember All sad times will end Of this I am certain: We will meet again. |
