Only once said your name
Made up why you never came
Forgotten, so easily dismissed
As if of no worth, not even missed
I don’t agree, I say no
People matter, I want to show
In how I speak, in what I say
In how I behave, each and every day
If it’s awkward, let it be
I don’t erase people, that’s not me
I will fight to have each name spoken
I will not continue a practice that is broken
Each soul has value; I will not be restrained
I do not forget people, I will not be contained
So I will say your name in the family space
You may not be seen, but you will not be erased
