A photograph of a light gray granite bench in a park. A thick rectangular slab is sitting on two decorative rounded legs. It is early fall and the grass around the bench is fading light brown.

now let us salute

all children who

never saw the light

and all mothers whom

winter took away

and all who have stood here

their names written in

the wind that falls without

a trace across the ice
