"LEt US Go Down Together"
~To The Fallen~
By Caroline Sullivan Land

"To My Husband, Theodore Land"
Let us go down
Together!
Take this my shaken hand
and press it so close
to your heart, Love.  I see
merciless wars
and madness
ahead, and we are dying--
Lord!  Lord, Only but to suffer
To Let us go down
Together.  Ah Lord!
Ah Lord!  Life so brief is time
There never
was
a good time
to
say
good-bye.  Lord!
Lord, If thou art willing,
Suffer it to be so, that
if we should perish
that we should be taken
together!
In JEsus' name,
Amen.

//Forever--
Forever,  I am calling your name.
Losing you I-- I am
Losing
You.
//Go to Sleep, Young Master...
a delirium of the mind
has me frozen here
The Broke Broke
Heart
Forever I am calling your name.
Theodore!
We are not afraid to die
my husband and i, as long as
we are
together.

//I was reading
my teenage writings
and now
I wanr
so badly,
to cry.
I want to grab her (me then)
and cry, "Do you
know Nothing
of Pain
Yet?
You Knew not
Fear, you knew not
Pain, you know not
Selflessness or Humility--
You knew not
Poverty or
Hunger
or Mourning
Ot Old Age
Or Sadness
Or Ugliness
Nor any of the
Virtues
That I have gleaned
over a lifetime
of pain.//I may not be
as vlever
as i once was
--But My SOUL
runs wise
wise
still
and
deep
through all
of my suffering.
In JEsus' name,
Amen,

If I could
have, I would have
rold you
how the cherry blossoms wept
when you had Gone.
But I couldn'tm and now
a silence settles on all the land
like placing of Yon Burial Stone.
The blossoms were soft layers
of azure, pink and moonstone,
and wqould that i might paint one,
I would seek to attempt
not as thee seeth
but as I see
in a dream.

AMEN.
