To dismember injures
and rips us asunder,
to remember submits
and restores by healing.
The disconnect disrupts
creating division,
to remember unites
and enhances the bond.
Clichés are empty words
formulas are hopeless,
to remember enjoins
and creates communion.
With wonder detachment
fosters transformation,
to remember renews
and assures commitment.
Yes, membership outlasts
the emptiness of loss,
to remember matters
and completes our Word.

'In this world, Elwood, you must be' - she always called
me Elwood - 'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so
smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart.
I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."
Well, for years I was smart, oh so very smart, I too recommend pleasant - Trust the harmony
