Marathon of Memories

On this day of tradition Many years of good memories Now many remembering tragedy Many years reversed By single day of misery They always ran Ran for victory Some for personal reason But on this day they ran They ran for safety Always remembered as the first But now a forgotten history Only remembering the worst Many can only think Think of what happened recently Now when they run It's not only for victory Or for personal reason They will always run Run for this memory A lifetime of tradition and good memory Can be changed by a single day of death and tragedy

Thank you Emile, I just felt the urge to right this poem on the 2 year anniversary of the Boston marathon bombing. Being from Boston the tragedy just hits home.
