While we still can stand let us vow to inspire and aspire to be true to this family union not made by chance but by the love of two hearts that also managed to take a stand and build a a strong house. Because of them we found our way back home. Lets celebrate life and drink up the day making time stand still for but a moment and then spend the rest of our days remembering sweetly from where we've come. The home from where we've come. For we have found our way back home.
As we reminisce about loved ones now gone we realize that they are not so far away for when they built this house they built a life from which we could prosper. In every heart beat they beat death and live strong in our laughter, in our song, in our very being they find their way back home.
And so we lengthen the tent cords and raise the tent cloths to bring together their progeny let our mothers and fathers laid to rest live strong in us and thus we bring them home. We bring them back home.
Year after year, generation after generation, alive or at rest, if only for a brief moment by one path or another we all here today and those laid to rest have found the way back home.
