Remember

by Twilarose

In memory of Brian Jacques. A little late, but it's the thought that counts.

Remember

Where are you now?

In the halls of Redwall Abbey?

Wandering through Mossflower?

Or parading through Salamandastron's armory?

They were your creation, your world

And a world that I loved

You painted heroic deeds

And beautiful places

With only pen and paper

You made us laugh and cry

You gave us a reason to turn the page

You gave me my childhood

The books sit on my shelf

In memory of greatness

But the best way to honor you

Would be to read

Read your tales of bravery

And one day write our own

Remember Martin the Warrior

Remember the Abbots and Abbesses

Remember the vermin, good and bad

Remember all the feasts and songs

And most important of all

Remember Brian Jacques

My memorial to Brian Jacques. It is because of him that I want to be a writer. Never forget him.
