Reflections

For  the  people  who’ve  gone  before  us 
your  fight  was  not  in  vain
Our  thoughts  and  prayers  are  with  you  
we  tried  to  ease  your  pain
We  know  you  were  the  bravest,  the  best 
that  you  could  be
And  even  then  you  smoothed  a  path  for 
someone  just  like  me

In  life  we  all  need  heroes  who  would 
fight  and  be  strong
You  are  all  classed  amongst  them,  even 
though  you’ve  gone
In  our  thoughts  you ‘re  always  there, we’d 
think  of  what  you’d  do
Even  when  life  is  a  struggle  we  strive 
to  be  as  good  as  you

Life  takes  so  many  heroes  before  we 
can  get  it  right
Our  thoughts  are  always  with  them 
throughout  the  day  and  night
So  pause  just  for  a  moment  let  your 
mind  free  to  take  stock
Be  thankful  in  that  moment  remembering 
what  you’ve  got
