September 10th
No one thinks September 10th
When looking back in time,
Because, on the 11th
Was the world’s most shocking crime.
Tomorrow there’ll be ceremonies
Honoring the dead,
But sometimes, what I focus on’s
The day before instead…
When things went on as usual
And no one had a clue
That life would never ever
Be the life that we once knew.
Before and after sums it up;
Mixed in with thoughts of sorrow,
My mind goes out to those who never
Doubted their tomorrow.
