Remembering Those Lost – Poem and Photos

by 11 Comments

Remember Me

 

Remember me_

 

not as a date or time,

 

but as a person.

 

Remember me_

 

I was weak…I was strong.

 

I was afraid…I was brave.

 

Remember me_

 

I had wants…I had desires.

 

I had needs…I had goals.

 

Remember me_

 

not as an event in history,

 

but as an individual.

 

Remember me_

 

I lived… I loved,

 

I laughed…I danced.

 

Remember me_
