Remember The Fallen

by beth on September 11, 2012

I have posted before on 9/11.

I will post next year, and the year after, and the year after.

I will never forget

We will never forget

Let us Remem­ber Them

Every­one gave some­thing on that day ten years ago

A piece of our col­lec­tive human­ity was lost

Our inno­cence in per­ceived safety was taken from us

As to what evil choices men will make

And while we all gave some­thing on that bright, blue Tues­day morning

Some gave all they had that day ten years ago

Some gave all they were that Sep­tem­ber 11th

Some never came home

Some fam­i­lies and friends are still waiting

They were moth­ers, fathers, sis­ters and brothers

They were sons, daugh­ters, hus­bands and wives

Fam­ily to grow old with

Friends to share a smile with

They were you and I, no different

And as we go through our days this anniversary

Let us remem­ber that they were doing the same on that morning

Sim­ply liv­ing their lives

Let us take time, a moment, a thought, an act, a prayer

To honor them

To remem­ber the fallen

The nearly 3,000 men, women & children

Who never came home on that beau­ti­ful, sunny day

Ten years ago
