And the world forgot…
The sun peeked through the window announcing it was here
The dew in morning sparkle began to disappear
The clouds danced in the wonder of radiant blue sky
The day that once was morning was slowly creeping by
The street light changed its’ colors, commuters made their way
On tar of destination, to work, to school, to play…
The train passed by so slowly, to chimes of church bell ring
The birds perched in the treetops like yesterday did sing
The creek flowed on in trickle for wanting of the rain
The squirrels frolicked on branches again and yet again
The toddlers were quite rowdy while playing at the park
The dog that they did startle, decided he would bark
Two runners caught up quickly, to walkers on the trail
A woman gazed in earnest, determined yet so frail
Two men had ventured fishing by boat out on the lake
The air became a perfume of hot dogs and burnt steak
The lush grass now a symbol that spring had come anew
The season of past winter had bid its blades adieu
The hours kept on turning with minutes rolling by
No sign within the seconds of final kiss goodbye
The world just kept on turning as busy as a bee…
It seemed to have forgotten, those scribed on deaths decree.
