In memory of Destiny Lester

The earth revolves without you,

To dawn another day

The moon still brings the tide

And sends him on his way.

The night sky stars still twinkle,

They have not lost their glow

Time marches on, to that same beat

As if he didn't know.

The spring will bring her flowers

All wond'rous to behold

And though we may not like it

All flowers one day fold.

They must make way for autumn

When leaves begin to fall

Though some leave before others

It happens to us all.

And winter, although barren

And cold beyond belief

Must spread her icy fingers

To help us through our grief. 

So when that babe comes crying

And wailing to our arms

We openly embrace them

Accepting all their charms.

We could just mourn the fallen

And refuse to heed spring's song

But if we close our hearts off

We might as well be gone.

I'll live life and embrace it

Just as you would have done

Hard as it is to see past

The setting of your sun.
