The night was dark and cool and clear
The air around was free of fear
As I recall it used to be
When life was happy and carefree.
We laughed and cried and fussed a lot
About what’s fair and what was not
Though not one person would declare
That their own treatment was unfair !
We lived and dreamed our lives away
Believing each, from day to day
This was our homeland, small or large
Where bullies never were in charge !
I try so very hard to see
The value of equality
But I have learned quite recently
That some are equal more than me !
Let’s pray the memories we tuck away
Inside our hearts and minds will not decay
But must linger longer more than today.
Our memories reflect just who we are
And fill our days and lives with character
To help us reach for God’s elusive star.
I’d like to know the treasure futures hold
And if I should be smart or should be bold
Or how one’s whole life story will unfold.
Remembering displays both right and wrong
It’s where we were first taught how to belong
It is what makes us wise and keeps us strong !
