In Memory

Two years have passed since a tragedy happened. There was shooting and a fire in my school and many died. This happened a year before I started this school so I wasn't there at that time but still this affected me strongly. There were two girls I knew, one I had met only few brief times and another I had known for years. I want to dedicate this post to those who suffered two years ago, some of them survived, some not.

I wrote a poem for those you died. I did a free translate for those who don't understand finnish.

 

Sytytän kynttilöitä ja olen aivan hiljaa. 

Kukaan ei enää toivo teille pahaa. 

Ikkunasta kaukaisten kynttilöiden loiston näen. 

Yö on kylmä ja pimeä, mutta loiste kirkas silti on.

Yhden silloisen ajatukseni muistan. 

Pienen kyyneleen poskelleni tippua annan.

Kaksi vuotta on jo mennyt aikaa. 

Vaan tuska ja suru vieläkin painaa.

Olisin halunnut vielä tavata, 

tuntemaan oppia ja olla ystävä.

Onneksi voin silti muistella. 

Yhteisiä aikoja, niitä mukavia muistoja.

Tänään hiljennymme teidän muistoksi. 

Ehkä kaikki muuttuu vielä paremmaksi..

I light some candles and stay silent. 

No one wishes you harm anymore.

I see candlelights shine far away from my window. 

The night is cold and dark but they still shine brightly.

I recall a thought I had back then. 

I let a little tear fall down on my cheek.

Two years have already passed. 

But the pain and sorrow still linger inside me.

I would have wanted to meet you again, 

get to know you and be your friend.

Luckily I can still remember. 

Time we spent together, all those happy memories.

Today we quiet down in your memory. 

Maybe everything will turn out for the best sometime..
