'that Day' 9-11-2001
You’re just watching T.V.
Then a horror you see
It’s beyond comprehension
“That can’t be … it just can’t be
Eyes should see things lovely
Not what they say that day
If we turned off the programs
Would the images … go away?
Some will never forget
The smells, the scene, that sound
Agonizing reality
Not all loved ones … would be found.
Not found, but they’re not lost
In God’s memory, they’re kept
For He has felt what you feel
And seen all the tears … you’ve wept
God understands your doubts
Your anger and your fears
Remember in the future
“He will wipe away … all tears”
