Great Memories

 

“My memory is nearly gone,
but I remember two things:
that I am a great sinner,
and that Christ is a great Savior.”
John Newton (1725-1807)

  1. There is stuff that I recall
    and do not want to share,
    for memory is held in thrall
    to that which I saw there.
    Soon will come a celebration
    with fireworks raised high,
    while I see a murdered nation,
    and those about to die.
    My heart is sore imprinted
    with those I could not save,
    but with revenge intended
    I stood beside their grave.
    The dead could neither cry, nor laugh;
    my rifle spoke on their behalf.
