in memory of Lance Benjamin

Lance Benjamin
October 12, 1979 - June 29, 2007

Remember me when I am gone away,

Gone far away into the silent land;

When you can no more hold me by the hand,

Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.

Remember me when no more day by day

You tell me of our future that you plann'd:

Only remember me; you understand

It will be late to counsel then or pray.

Yet if you should forget me for a while

And afterwards remember, do not grieve:

For if the darkness and corruption leave

A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,

Better by far you should forget and smile

Than that you should remember and be sad.

Rainbow
by Ashley Renee Lynch

Incomprehensible is the rainbow before us,
Shines from it a glory we will never touch,
Clouds loom near by,
To cover its brilliance,
To leave us enchanted,
By only a glance,
It reaches the Heavens,
High above all,
Into the blue,
Hear the raninbow call,
It cries it is tired,
It may never believe,
The impact it's left,
On those who still grieve.
