Pray

Lower the flags
and turn out the sun
for they wont be home
their battle is done
Turn off the stars
block out the moon
lets share in the darkness
that took them too soon
A moment of silence
or two if you please
please turn off your cars
nothing move but the breeze
Let us all close our eyes
bow our heads for a while
lets remember their faces
remember their smiles
Remember their strength
right up to the last
and pray one day cancers'
a thing of the past

Deeply cleverly written in memory of all those who lose their battle with that dreadful disease. There are few people whose lives have not been touched by cancer in some way and you give hope a respectful voice here Andy. Bravo! :) kath xxxxxx
