Roses Upon the Water, Nine Eleven

Bells ring in silence, bowed heads of blue Gleaming sliver and gold, no words for the grief Thoughts shared, furrowed brows, tears Dreams burnt away in the morning mist Of unfulfilled promises, I have died for thee Irreplaceable child, mournful minutes Pass uncountable in my mind Slow music plays answering list upon list Death departed, foundation wrenched Who will offer balm, peace for my son Missed still one, lifeless pictured one Lost, lost without parents roaming lonely nights Grief filled minds, watching waiting praying Roses float on water, drowning in a sea of tears Hug, hold clasped hands, buried languished love Faces indelibly written, remembering you is easy Yesterday today everyday, heart ache in silence You will never know, America was hurt today Never healed, Lord shield, sweet as roses upon the water.
