Remember Others
By Rich Reith
That day
Death was near
But not fear
Miles from nowhere
That day
Fire raged
I was caged
Caught in war’s snare
That sad day
Remembering others
Mothers and brothers
Lamenting what I didn’t say
But life
Was not ended
I comprehended
God granted another day
That day
Through my pen
Words again
Started flowing
Until
With last word
They all heard
My love flowing
Remember
All those near
Need to hear
With each breath
Each day
So that regret
Won’t be met
With your death.
