December 21st, five years ago today
The earth did have its darkest day
The winter solstice marked the time
A brightest light was snuffed away
The jumbo jet fell from the sky
While ornaments were hung on high
Innocent victim of a terrorist act
A senseless cause for one to die
Family and friends could not believe
This joyous season now one to grieve
The trip abroad with much to share
Memories lost we'd not retrieve
Stoic and strong we had to try
But played the songs with teary eye
Classmates and some not seen in years
Gathered together to say goodbye
Goodbye to one so young of age
A too our youth we turned the page
Saddened so that each had passed
A sense of loss combined with rage
Though solstice has the longest night
Day with scarce amount of light
It also brings a ray of hope
That those to come will be more bright
And if an answer's to be sought
For this wicked evil wrought
Give your love to friends each day
That’s the greatest lesson taught
