We Remember

The hands that dried our tears when all that was left to do was to cry

The ears who patiently listened to our rants when all that was remaining was anger and fury

The ones who gave us a shoulder to lean on when the trusted pillars disappointed us

The ones who though had little gave us everything

The ones who silently cheered us on, when all there is about us is failure

The ones who gave up everything so we might have everything

The shoulders upon which we stood to see clearly

The rugged candlestand upon which we stood to light the world, who endured the agony of our hot wax

The ones who wept when our eyes were soaked and grinned when our lips broadened

The ones who stayed when everyone else left

The ones who looked backed when everyone else minded their business

The ones who prayed with us in the secret and cheered us on in the open

The ones we truly don't deserve

We acknowledge that we got so busy and for a tad moment, forgot those days

We acknowledge that we got drowned in the ovation as you got lost in the crowd

Memory failed us to remember you, the moment we stepped on that podium

The fast pace with which we ran made us unreachable

Our light has become so bright that your matchstick has lost its relevance

Today, we take a step back from the ovations and accolades, from the cheers and fame, from the podium and applauds, from the noises and excuses

We take a step back today, just to tell you that...

We remember!!!
