Forgetting (10)

I forget them. I think of them, grieve for them, and then they are gone from my mind. How can this be so? Those who have lost so much in Ukraine, in Afghanistan, and in Myanmar. I forget them. I forget their loss and losing. I want to hold them inside of me. To bear witness to what life has brought them. Help me to do this. And not forget.
