HERALD

Thirty years later

The Herald of Free Enterprise

Capsizing at Zeebrugge

Seems like yesterday

Thirty years ago

Starting a new relationship

Brooding upon disaster

Thoughts too terrible

Thirty years gone by

Since that stroll on Salford Campus

Thanking our lucky stars that day

Simply holding on

Thirty years of life

A crossing back from Germany

Triggered thoughts and spinal quivers

Six months afterwards

Thirty years pass fast

Relationships fail and founder

Went walking in others’ shoes

Grateful to survive

Thirty years sped by

So strange what triggers memories

For the hundred and ninety-three

Life did not go on
