The Final Test
Taps plays softly upon the dead
While memories burst across my eyes
Sorrow and joy mingle remembering thy life
Though many know of thee only few shed tears
Shared with grief
Is this the whole story of what is to be
Can not more be told
Do I then too dissolve into dust with no hope
What therefore am I
If only one shares with me am I therefore less
What of those who knew many and silently view thy life
Who conducts the final test
Was I therefore overwhelmed by that test too
Oh the pain of not knowing who will really care
And the true minds of those who are there to share
The silent memories while taps is played upon my heart
Viewing the remembrance of love now forever lost
