I Remember You

It was a long time ago

But faithfully I do go

To the cemetery at the top of the hill

All these years I am drawn there still

My friend, I can only visit your grave

I came home but your all you gave

We went so alive, side-by-side

And here in death now you bide

I remember your last scene

Engraved in my memory

As an ever waking dream

 I still can hear you calling

Though the leaves of autumn

have thirty years been falling 

The winter snows of the years

Though heavy as they were

have not hidden my tears 

And so it will be in thirty more

I can never forget my friend lost to war

Who died on a distant shore

For Brother, brotherhood was never a chore
