69 CENTURY ST

Dianna Duplessie 1971 (Hamilton Ontario)



On that fateful morning,
I saw the flames so high.
They were so strong,
They seem to reach the sky.

All i could do was hope,
That everyone was safe.
When i saw it on the news,
I knew it wasn't the case.

One womans life was lost
Someone i called a friend.
We all watched in horror
Hoping that was the end.

As the days had passed,
Fire trucks were still around.
Then 6 days later,
Another body they had found.

That fire took my nephew.,
I was filled with grief.
That his life was taken,
Is something i cant believe.

That house is no longer there,
A pile of rubble is what remans.
Because of that fateful morning
Our lives are forever changed.

TWO LIVES LOST
MANY HEARTS BROKEN
