I'll NEVER FORGET
I remember classes so bad I cried,
the wrong word spoken,
like a glass I had broken,
when I just shook my head and sighed.
And I remember the students who died.
I remember teaching sleepy-eyed,
stuck in dreams alive
hoping somehow to revive,
standing there with both hands tied.
And I remember the students who died.
I remember looks deep and wide,
mind embracing mind,
moon and stars aligned,
carrying us along on a silver tide.
And I remember the students who died.
