JOSEPH WE WILL REMEMBER YOU: a call and response poem

At the rising of the sun and at its going down,

We remember you.

At the blowing of the wind and the chill of winter,

We remember you.

At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring,

We remember you.

At the beginning of the year and at its end,

We remember you.

When we are weary and in need of strength,

We remember you.

When we have a joy we crave to share,

We remember you.

When we have decisions that are difficult to make,

We remember you.

When we have achievements,

We remember you.

As long as we live, you too will live

We remember you.
