Sonnet by Leonard M HawkesNow as we’re forced
To glimpse the end--
Those stars we’ve known
Now prospective home--
Loss the evident,
With little sight
Beyond the final bend--
Thanks, faith, memory
Yet remain,
And friendship’s truths
Both given and sought
By those who also Know—
That we love enduringly,
Witnesses Eternity.
