Never Gone As Long As We Remember Let us make our remembering more than a remembering. Let us make it a hope and a pledge, carried on these words: In the summer sun and fields of brightness, we will remember. In the autumn haze and blazes of color, we will remember. In the winter chill and blankets of whiteness, we will remember. And in the warmth of spring and bursts of new life, we will remember. With everything that is permanent, and with all that is passing. With everything that is majestic and with all that is common. With everything that carries us in concern and with all that lifts us in joy. We will remember again and again and again. As long as we have life, we will remember. And in the remembering we will discover new life, new hope, and new courage, if not today then tomorrow.
