O'er Countless Graves

 

O'er countless graves the teardrops flow

to earth to nourish mem'ries that grow.

Cherished the place, remembered each face,

each sparce, narrow garden is a holy place;

those whose love turned grief now know.

Strong word is "Love", despite Death's throe.

Hope's sunrise there; Grief's night here below.

Peaceful Love with Stately Grief God doth replace,

o'er countless graves.

Raise up their dream! They tell us, "GO !

Liberty 's strong thread, run it ! So

our hopes, dreams, fires of Soul may pace

yet coming runners in Life's race,

and ALL win !" 'Though Death counts countless tears

. . . . . o'er countless graves.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Someday War will win the Peace.   Peaceniks will never win or prevent a war.
