Pearl Harbor Day: America’s dark and bleak time A day still seen by many Moments past in dread as in a crime Harsh horror, deaths made plenty Crises no one needs to face Many life times made so short As bombs exploded in the port. All brought on by the human race. Yet this day I can report Is not a time so bleak and short T’was not for such a time as this My life would never have such bliss For this day gave life to thee Several years past such gloom Only proves that what was Does not always have to be. Pearl Harbor day is gone But not the hurts made wrong Yet, even in death there is a song For those who were made alone. Knowing that harsh times will not cease Until the time of lasting peace. Still my love found a resting place As time allows me your embrace. The time has rushed past us Moments have stolen years Yet, no regrets have I with you For you are my sun & moon. You nourished me with love I could not have stayed so long Upon this earth without your song, If not for you and Pear Harbor Day. the voice: Poetry on the Move: 11
