Never Forget

I wasn't there when it happened,

I don't have the memories.

But that doesn't mean

It's not remembered.

Every year, on this day,

I remember.

I listen.

I watch.

I will never forget.

Every year, on this day,

I think.

I pray.

I remember.

I will never forget.

I hear the stories,

I hear of pain,

And even though I wasn't there,

I remember.

I will never forget.

I watch the footage,

I listen to the news,

And I will remember.

I have not forgotten.
