REMEMBERANCE: A Lament of the Children

.........................................................................

 Forget not those that are lost,

store in memory all those gone away

 Remember those who made you smile,

 With contagious laughter and child's play.

 Remember those who measured not

By race, religion, or status,

 Those who saw the world with un-judging eyes

 Incapable in their innocence.

 Remember those blessings in the form of youth,

And vow never to lose sight

 Of all those that were taken, though it cannot be changed, cannot be made right.

 In their lives, they were beautiful, and though they have perished,

 In your prayers and memories, stay them, precious keepsakes to be cherised.
