Tears touch the dust <br />A boots kneel to the ground. <br />There are times when all strength fails. <br />When the loss of the irreplacable occurs. <br />And though nothing can shed <br />The veil of grief within. <br />Another's hand on the shoulder, <br />The other one grasping the quivering glove, <br />And two rise as one. <br />And through the storm of grit and sand <br />They carry on. <br />Shielded by love and the knowledge <br />That nothing is lost in vain.<br /><br />Kaz Kawasaki<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/true-purpose-2/
