Ashes....

Things we lost to the flames,
things we will never see again,
all that we've amassed,
sits before us, shattered into ash.
From these ashes we will rise anew,
ever changing and ever strengthened,
for fire is cleansing, and fire is healing.
From these ashes we will build life greater,
We will build love stronger, and determination more focused.
As one life is burned away and blows into the wind,
we will work together, we will fight together,
we will rise again, and shine brighter,
more brilliant than ever before...
