We Sleep Here Forever (A Tritina)

Their battles fought, their lives they lived, and now our fathers sleep,
And though their spirits take to flight, their memories linger here,
With souls now free to live in peace, their battles rage forever.

In stories told, in books we read, their past will live forever,
So we can know what went before, 'ere with them we do sleep,
And in this way, share legacy with those who still are here.

We help our children learn the past, of things before and here,
And pray that they will not forget, and memories keep forever,
Then pass them down to those who come, before they too will sleep.

And when all things are said and done, we too sleep here forever.
