The Heart Remembers
once a year we remember
those who fell before us.
some fell before we were born
and we never knew them.
some fell in our life time
and we never knew them.
we hear their stories
from the news and family.
we learn about their lives
and how well and good they lived.
this day is often one of sadness,
causing us to pause and think
of what was and what could have been.
and now when I part from a loved one
I always say, “I love you” and
“I am always with you” because
you never know when they will fall
and not be remembered
except in my quiet heart...
