NEVER FORGET

 

by

 

Betty Jo Tucker

 

 

Never forget those gone before.

Family members, friends and more.

 

They made us what we are today.

Some struggled hard to pave the way.

 

Remember people from the past.

And their good deeds– please help them last.

 

We’re all connected, gone or here.

Let’s not forget the ones so dear.

 

 

Hearts still feel them and souls also.

That timeless bond should grow and glow.

I think the greatest lesson from Memorial Day is not to idolize those who gave their lives, but to come up with better ways to deal with differences than wars waged so that young people have to sacrifice their lives for "our" way of life.

You have wonderful thought expressed in your poem, but I find, more and more those people from earlier in our lives are neglected and forgotten in the rush of everyday living. Left alone and forgotten.
