Forget, Not

Memory of faces,
  Maybe even a name,
  Remember the places,
  Seeing so much pain.
  How can we witness,
  In this land of plenty,
  Different hungers that plague,
  Numbers of many.
  " Forget, Not", be our Motto,
  After the season of giving,
  Let our gifts continue, 
  To give new beginnings.

Oh this is now a fav for me... such punch and such small amount of words to do battle against such things. A wonderful message to keep repeating and repeating. Hugs. Ann

Thank you, Andrea, for your sweet comment and reading my poetry. I was randomly reading poems and decided I 'd read some of the works of ones that had been with poetry soup for a while, and some of you read mine. What a nice surprise!!!

Thank you, Brandy, for the sweet comment. You have given me a positive feel from the negative side I've been experiencing for a long time. this a.m. I decided to randomly read a few poems. I was over-joyed to read so many wonderful poetry, yours included, and have received so many up-lifting comments. Maybe this will tune me into the still small voice I once again need to hear

Thank you, Vijay, for reading one of my poems, I have not listened to the little voice inside me , so it's been a long time since I've even thought of having something to say. I don't write for fun and I'm not competitive, just hope my words can help someone. Thanks, again, Avis Thank you
