Always Remember

In our hearts is where we remember.
We want you to know we still miss you all.
You were called to Heaven that September.
We needed help and you answered the call.
It was a tragedy you had to fall.
But your names still live on until today.
We all remember you each time we pray.
Will you stand by me on nine eleven?
Next to me holding my hand through the day?
We'll hold hands, even though your in Heaven.

At first I didn't even think of the 9/11 tragedy, but was more focused on the sense of loss, Chris. Surely, you and your loved one are holding hands now, just as I still feel my lat husband's presence. What an exquisite write! Congratulations. Love, Carolyn
