Always remembered, Never forgotten

I remember that day so well,
where I was, what I was doing.

I didn't know anything about pain or fear,
I lost no one I knew that day.

Yet that day was to change my life,
through the choices that were made.

In future years, I would see
friends fallen before their time.

The tremors of that quake,
are still felt to this very day.

Every fire truck and ambulance, every siren I hear...
flashes back the past six years through my mind.

Always remembered, never forgotten,
the vow of those who have been left behind.
