Unspoken Words To My Father
SEPTEMBER11TH
A DAY THAT WILL FOREVER BE REMEMBERED
A TERRYFIYING DAY
A NEW WORLD OF FEAR WE ALL ENTERED
THIS ONCE BEAUTIFUL CITY
WAS COATED IN A DENSE BLACK SMOKE
KNOWING YOU WERE RUNNING TO HELP
YOU WERE SO DEVOTE
BEING A FIREMAN THEIR WAS NO HESITATION
IN YOUR STEP
RESPONDING DAY IN AND DAY OUT TO THE SCENE
YOU HARDLY SLEPT
EACH TIME YOU RETURNED HOME
I SAW THE UNBEARABLE PAIN IN YOUR EYES
THE ANGER, UNANSWERED QUESTIONS,
FOR THE EVIL RESPONSIBLE YOU DESPISED
PEOPLE THAT DAY NEVER KNEW
IT WAS THEIR LAST HUG, KISS OR GOODBYE
I WILL NEVER FORGET AS A FIREFIGHTERS DAUGHTER
THE FEAR IN MY HEART
JUST ASKING GOD WHY
FUNERAL AFTER FUNERAL
I OBSERVED PIECES OF YOU SLOWLY BREAKING APART
YOU LOST YOUR FRIENDS, CONSIDERED FAMILY,
A PAIN THAT STILL KEEPS PART OF YOU IN THE DARK
BEING A HEROE IS ANYTHING
LIKE THE MOVIES, OR FAIRYTALES
TAKING ON THE REAL EVIL IN THIS WORLD
CAUSES INTERNAL PAIN STILL HAVING TO PREVAIL
LIFE IS NOT TO BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED
FOR IT IS SO SWIFT
IM THANKFUL TO HAVE A FATHER LIKE YOU
YOUR A COURAGEOUS HEROE
WHO HAS ALWAYS BEEN A GIFT
