The first good-bye

Let freedom ring, They screamed

As the death Bell, Had stopped calling people home.

Dance rejoice and sing

For we must no longer sit alone.

But as I try to smile in delight

I can't forget the horrid nights

When you were made to die unseen.

Un-mourned, Un-buried,

Un-everything

So much was taken in such a hurry

And now the days aren't filled with worry

But still it hurts

These unsaid goodbyes

So in these pages

I guess, I'll try

Lay my burdens bare and broken

For all of you

Who'd never woken

May you sleep

In the warmest slumbers

For you were more

Than just climbing numbers

You bared the brunt

Of this tragic pain

And in our heart you'll live again

For history

will remember you

For what it's worth...

Grandma-grandpa-sister-brother- friend...

We made it through
