Daniel Jaffke

Memorial for Daniel P. Jaffke, a son, brother, and friend.

We Are Alive


We Are Alive

We are who we are
Without a whistle
To be blown
We are so afraid
of the unknown
Where we grow
We are what we save
What we don't show
A crippled crow.

If we ever get out 
Alive
We can make it out
Alive

We are who we are
Without reason
To unfold
We are so engaged
Into the weakness
From which we stray
We are who we need
To get through to us
To better days

If we ever get out 
Alive
We can make it out
Alive
