I came across this poem from a blue fan. I’m an Evertonian As bitter as the next But for one day each year I give that a rest I spare a thought for those lost And take some time To remember the 15th of the 4th, 89 I take off my blue tinted specs and see This isn’t any normal anniversary It’s one of sorrow for a cup semi turned black For lads and girls who went to a footy match And never came back This day’s not about the beautiful game It’s about remembering them And justice for those who are to blame Not admiring Fernando’s goals Or Mikel’s tricks But those who fight For the 96 2009 marked 20 years The service at Anfield Moved me to tears I watched with pride, A blue shirt on it’s own Paying respects In their Liverpool home Sharing the grief But his scarf held high For at the end of the storm There’s a golden sky For just one day a year, Forget they’re red and white Say a prayer, spare a thought, take a minute Unite. And never forget this terrible shame As our laurel wreaths embrace their eternal flame As we all come together Blue and red power The Liverbird Prince Rupert’s tower Remember 96 brothers and sisters Who never came home Nil Satis Nisi Optimum You’ll Never Walk Alone.
