Notes About The Poem

“After all, if you have added some lively colours to the world, you will be remembered well by the world!” Mehmet Murat ildan

To Be Remembered

So many lives lost to viruses and other means
Personalities that once held smiles happy to be seen

These people were our brothers and sisters that we closely knew
Now they are back with the universe with spirits being renewed

In their lives, they danced and played and spent time learning things
Just like us they were packaged with bundles of ripe enjoyable feelings

But now they are cold, bones turned to ice-rods and warmth is at it's end
How could we know that time would come and take away our friends

We can choose to remember these souls and send them endless praise
For the time will come where we'll be shephered in a similar way

Death is to life, as life is to death
Let's never forget how special it is to have a God-gifted breath
