I admit I can’t remember
Just what happened on that day.
But that won’t destroy the meaning
Of the words that I will say.

Please, I implore you, remember.
Take a moment, stop to mourn
The loss of many innocents, all
Gone before they could be warned.

Perhaps the world stopped its turning
Honestly, I can believe
That and many other things a-
bout this day on which I grieve.

Life is brief, I don’t think we can
Understand that ‘till it’s gone
But if we always remember
These lost souls, might they live on?

Often I cry when I remember
All that happened on that day.
Even though I was quite young, that
Won’t exempt me from the fray.

Take a moment to remember,
Whether you are young or old.
The day we don’t will be the day that
Human hearts will have gone cold.

In Memoriam

oh god, i'm close to tears, i generally prefer freestyle to rhyming poetry, but somehow the way in which you rhymed gives it an ominous power to your carefully chosen words, its really amazing
