Remember them

As another year draws to a close,I think of those pilgrims we have lost this year,and again offer these lines of remembrance I say each year end.This year they have a greater personal significance but we all walk the same road.


There is a secret staircase
Away above the clouds
That last day of December
Reaches to the ground
On each step stands a Pilgrim
That once walked the way
From a thousand years ago
To a year ago today
Some are dressed as peasants
Some are dressed as lords
Some as Templar soldiers
Complete with shield and sword
All stand at attention
As a tribute from the past
To all the Peregrinos
Who in this year have passed
And the souls of those lost Pilgrims
Climb the staircase high above
And proudly walk through Heaven's gate
To wait for those they love.

Take care of those you love,a lifetime is so short.

What a beautiful verse. I shall treasure it. Thank you.
 
Technical backpack for day trips with backpack cover and internal compartment for the hydration bladder. Ideal daypack for excursions where we need a medium capacity backpack. The back with Air Flow System creates large air channels that will keep our back as cool as possible.
