We Remember Them

In the rising of the sun, and in it going down,
We remember them.

In the blowing wind and in the chill of winter,
We remember them.

In the opening of buds and in the warmth of summer,
We remember them.

In the rustling of leaves and the beauty of autumn,
We remember them.

In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
We remember them.

When we are weary and in the need of strength,
We remember Them.

When we are lost and sick at heart,
We remember them.

When we have joys we yearn to share,
We remember them.

So long as we live, They too shall live, For now they are part of us.
We remember them.

from “Gates of Prayer,” the Reform Judaism Prayerbook
