This To I will Remember

This To I will Remember
This too, I will remember By Mike Odetalla
This too, I will remember... My people huddled in darkness Frightened, hungry, and thirsty
Caged like animals... This too, I will remember... The humiliation and sadness Cries of the children in the air The death hopelessness and despair This too, I will remember... Those that closed their eyes Covered their ears And silenced their voices Oblivious of our suffering and tears This too, I will remember... The ones that cared Spoke out and shared In our suffering with others We will remember them as our brothers... All of this I will remember... Be it kindness I will not forget Kindness in return you will get... For those that heaped on us suffering and death We will remember this until our last dying breath... All of this we will always remember... Mike Odetalla 4-2002
