Poem
As a little girl he sat next to me at school. I always liked him, no, much more than that. Later we walked home together. He would carry my books. At graduation he was my date. We even went to college together. We broke the chains of friendship and he became my lover. My first and only love. We married young it was no surprise to our parents they were expecting it. Before I knew it we had three kids, two girls and a boy. Our son looks just like him. It was just like any other day. He came home from work. Cooked burgers on the barbeque. We got the kids to bed. drank a glass of wine then went to bed at ten. He wanted to make love but I was exhausted. The kids had been terrors all day. The next day he kissed me goodbye with a see you later honey. I got a call from my friend she said put on the TV. I saw the towers fall turning to ashes. Like my life did that moment. All I could think was I wish I had made love to him last night. September 11 2015 The children are all grown up now He would be so proud of them. I look at my strong handsome son. He looks like him exactly We stand at ground zero and say a prayer. I whisper it was always you honey. Only you. As if by magic he answered me A giant beautiful rainbow circled over New York and I know it was for me.
