Lost Souls of 2014

We all get excited when crossing over to a new year but mostly, we forget those that didn't make it. This poem is for everyone that has lost someone.

To the fallen soldiers of 2014, we remember you today because your lives were really important. Its a pity death wasn't reluctant. To all the people that died, its a pity we never got to mingle and that's sad. Its 365, let me signify that I'm among the last ones to remember the lost sons, daughters and lovers that are all gone. We cried over your demise as we tried to wipe the tears off our eyes. You left in a haste and in our hearts you created a space. Now we say the phrase that we're alive by his grace. We are on the front lawn aspiring to a new dawn, its almost a new year and we're still here reminiscing about our loved ones because we have to move on. We won't forget as we erect what we learnt. Your impact will definitely reflect. So I write this to all the lost ones from the bottom of my heart that your legacy still lives on, I wish you a happy new year because you will always be right here in our hearts where you belong crossing over every year with us.

At first, I thought it was a tribute to the 911 lost souls, but then came to realize that it is a poem to honor not just the souls lost in 2014, but can be interpreted in such a way that it is a timeless tribute to everyone who has passed, doesn't matter when and where. Lovely write.

I agree. We lost a lot of good people this year. We must remember them and stand strong for the living. The poem left the reader with something to think about. These are good words.

You're so right, Olumegbon. But the new year is still fresh and there already murder and slaughtering. Yesterday in Paris, tomorrow who knows. I fear the count on the end of this year will be dramatically high. :) Rudi
