Eulogy Poem by Brian Hinckley

Grieve for our loss
and give your love to the dead.
They fought bravely,
overcoming tremendous odds.
We move on
only by their sacrifice.
Lower your heads,
offering prayers for their souls.
Anger and fear
may drive us to retaliate.
We must fight these feelings
and let grief run its course.
Raise your voices in song
and celebrate the gift of life.
These revered few have given it to us,
let us not take it in vain!
Stand up and raise your heads,
feel the love their shades send us.
Depart, dear friends,
enjoy the give they have given freely.
