Quid Sum [Poetry]

Hīc Dolemur

Here we grieve the tragic loss

               Of all who failed to love

Of those who missed the greatest gift

                From Father up above

Today we gather in His name

                Together here we pray

We mourn for those forever dead

                Trapped in their own decay

Our sorrow reaches up to heaven

                Floating on the silver wind

For those loveless, hollow souls

                Who only loved their sin

The dead have never felt our joy,

                Have never heard our song

Our tune just flew right past their heads;

                They never sang along

I’ve never felt a grief so great

                That I hesitate to tell

But still my sorrow must remain

                Lest I lose love as well

So here we grieve yet carry on

                Together here we’ve gathered

Mourning, but in thought secure

                Our love will last forever.

In Pace Requiescat
