RESTLESS CLOUDS

Gazing, into cloud filled skies

old friends, old memories reappearing before our eyes

 familiar masts take form's to see

some smile, some frown as they flow so free

Bright white, dark images passing above

The dark sending tears the white sending love

white is happiness, for all to absorb 

dark brings the emptiness left by the war

Some coming together, dulling the pain

telling loved one's their death not in vain

go forward with your lives, but never forget

we did this for all, we served to protect 

When dark clouds form think of us

 the color will change and rid it's crust 

a certain brightness will enter your soul

knowing we've walked the streets of gold

 A feeling of fulfillment will brighten your days

dimming the emptiness, paving your way

someday soon in this promised land

again we will walk hand in hand
