Dark now the stage
Where generations past
Acted out their mortal moments
All gone home
All boarded up

Except in memory
Where sacred smiles and treasured traits
Still flood our lives with light
Of acts, and scenes, and sayings, and stories
Blessed memories

Now, of all this history
We three remain
The bridge from then to what will be

To us more brightly was
The torch passed than to them
Obliged we now become
To pass it even more-so

And so with you
Steadfast sisters of sojourn
Beautiful bookends of my birth
A new closeness
Born of their death
The spotlight is on us
Shines on you and me
Shines on us
