Rest in peace my friends

They walked to school,

As every day.

Mist upon the Valley,

Followed clouds of grey.

Greeted by their teachers,

Every boy and girl.

Their lives around the corner,

Just their little world.

The miners on the hillside

A man-made mountain hall.

They only had an hour,

After their first call.

They didn't see it coming,

Only heard the thunder roar.

Everyone felt the earthquake.

All fell to the floor.

The men all raced to help them

from all around.

They crawled about in darkness

of the school playground.

We all feel the losses,

We all share the pain,

We will all remember

The day the ashes came.

The world is not as cold

as it was back then.

But in the heart of all of Wales

We will remember them.

The girls and boys who went to school,

Most smiling, all following their mam.

The village always feels them near,

The Village,

Aberfan.

Gone but not forgotten

My mum says that this was one of those tragedies that you always remember what you were doing when you heard about it. I guess being a fairly new mum brought it home to her a little bit more too.

All those little children and their teachers - so very sad but always remembered

I few miles from me, always amazes me to see tributes from far and wide this time of year.

Happened before I was born but I always remember being told about it in a school assembly on the anniversary by a teacher who was there digging them out.

Quite a rough school and the teacher was crying as he told us, yet not one person that I know of ever mentioned seeing this very strict and unpopular teacher cry.

I remember this vaguely, in black and white telly, my dad volunteering to go and dig.

Very sad.

I only heard about this a year ago as there was a BBC piece about it online, such a sad story.

I remember exactly what I was doing on that day and hearing the first news coming through on the radio. So very very sad. All those lives with so much to look forward to.
