THE MIRROR OF LIFE
We look back at pain and sorrow
Love and loss
Grateful for lives we’ve touched
Rejoice in who they have become
What they contribute
How they will make their worlds
A better place for their own children
We live in hope that the principles of peace
And social justice
Will someday resound
With as much power and force
As the national disasters that threaten
To devour and destroy
Lands and cultures
Torn by war, religious division
Bigotry and hate
