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.
