remember

i would say remember

to my friend who took his last breath

i would say remember

to my brother the first time he left

i would say remember

to the girl who hid what was stolen from her

i would say remember

to my friend when he took his last step 

i would say remember

to my friend the first time her child touched her chest

i would say remember 

to all the people who told me they would always be their

i would say love

to all because that is what they needed to heal
