In the dark of night
A family gathers around a bed
They pray in silence over the bed
And ask for more time
The child dies
The families weep
People cry
The funeral is dark, cold and rainy
The air is heavy with sadness
The people remember the day
As life goes on in the world

Don't Forget
By Jonathan Diaz
Grade 7
I am glad that I am not one of those
Lonely memories that the
Brain refuses to remember
I am glad that I am not one of those
Atrocious memories you
Refuse to think about
How cool I am not a thought that could not be
Written down in time to get an A+
I am nothing but a thought; let me tell you
"Before I forget that"
I am a thought that could make you a famous writer
I am a thought that could determine life and death
I am a thought forever lost in your mind
Seems that you have forgotten me
Until your death I will be
Waiting Waiting
To be remembered
In the darkness of your mind
I am waiting waiting to be remembered
