As I was joking with my friends... Someone had lost their best friend.
As my dad watches me play basketball...
As my life gets back to normal...
As I kiss my husband... Someone won't be able to kiss hers.
While I was getting dressed on Tuesday, Sept 11, 2001...
Someone was losing someone they loved.
As I was getting on the bus...
Someone was going to meet their Lord!
As I sat in second period, worrying about getting my
Geometry done...
Someone worried about seeing his wife alive again.
As I sat in third period, watching the news...
Someone was living it.
As I talked to my sisters... Someone had lost their sister.
As I hug my parents... Someone won't ever hug theirs again.
Someone won't get to watch their kids play anything.
As my mom hears the "I love you"...
Someone doesn't have anyone to say, "I love you" to any more.
As I fight with my sisters...
Someone wishes they could say, "I'm sorry" to theirs.
Someone's life will never be the same again.
As I get older and fall in love...
Someone will never meet his or her own true love.
As my dad walks me down the aisle at my wedding... Someone's dad will wonder what kind of man his daughter would have met.
As my mom holds her new grandchild...
Someone will wonder what theirs would have been like.
As I watch my child grow...
Someone will never be able to see theirs again.
In Washington D.C. & New York City, on Sept 11, 2001, Someone lost a life. All over the country, people have lost a mother, father, son, daughter, brother,
sister, uncle, aunt, or friend. We all need to remember what happened on Sept 11, & keep the bond we have formed together. And remember:
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
