The day that comes with oh such ease,
Be that of with a gentle breeze.
The sun shall glow with heaven's light,
And fall asleep in the dark of night.
The birds shall sing their quiet song,
The lions will roar and fight daylong.
Splendors of the world shall cease,
And we morn those officially deceased.
Sounds of fear will pierce the sky,
And peace on Earth will be a lie.
The doves will soar, never to return,
And with all of this, we shall learn.
Among the dead and those alive,
We live forever as we strive.

(I dedicate this to the soliders across the sea)
