Out of the blue

the bombs reigned down

upon the sleeping

men and ships

and blew the harbor up

and ripped

the fleet apart

the balance tipped

 

No warning came

as men awoke

to find their lives

gone up in smoke

Pearl Harbor was

the target then

all hope was sunk

by grim Japan

 

Yet in the end

America awoke

and brought revenge

a giant poked

a mighty nation

with courage found

will to resist

and soon rebound

 

Americans

still rue this day

memories persist

of the price we paid

while hearts still hurt

filled with regret

this day recalled

Never Forget.
