Victims of Sept 11

To the victims of 9/11 Whose souls are watching on from heaven Know that your memory lives on Forever, regardless how long you’ve been gone As family and friends grow old Their daily lives you still behold As your spirit walks alongside, in silence Hand in hand…always there for guidance Your loved ones still feel your presence near Memories and heartache still bring a tear Abating are their feelings of guilt and hate This was God’s will…for some reason this was your fate Ten years have passed since the War began The War on Terrorism…they had a plan A decade on there’s not much to show Except Bin Laden’s Death – an Al Qaeda blow Nobody wants your deaths to be in vain This horrendous tragedy forever a stain In the hearts and minds of humankind Surely though it’s time we put revenge behind. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ***I wrote this poem on the 10th Anniversary. Every anniversary feels as sad as the very first! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ©copyright Juanita Torr ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
