A day of remembering, reliving and reflecting ... from remembrance ceremonies this morning to the ballgame now ... it transports you back twenty years and it all comes flooding back. I see the words never forget; and I think, impossible to forget. I will always remember.
The toll booth to the Past
We would sometimes go to visit relatives from my parents' past
and you knew you were going somewhere back in time
when you had to go through a toll booth to get there
You can't travel through life
without paying a toll

International Holocaust Remembrance Day
Listening to stories
spoken by sole survivors
of their families
I am still learning
There is no end to suffering
Whether it comes or it is made
The one-two punch
Hitting you
and then hitting you
when you're down

Tragic Accident
Parents and children
Lost mothers and fathers
and daughters 13
three of them 13 years old
in the scope of a lifetime
that is still infancy
