The Fallen

Au Revoir, or see you later She said, eager at the door She never thought from that time on She'd see her child, no more Her smiling face Her sparkling eyes She never will forget Just one more hug Just one last kiss She'll live with the regret A croissant and a coffee A glass of wine or two Good day old friend How are you? Their world then splits in two

For the innocents who perished at a disco in France, in the name of religious bigotry . . . and those yet to fall!
