Was it really that long?
Have the years gone so fast?
Was 9-11-01,
Really 10 years past?
But the pain is so fresh,
And still feels so raw.
I sometimes still feel numb,
From the horrors I saw.
The smoke still lingers,
If only in my mind.
Answers sometimes,
Are still so hard to find.
Scenes, they still flash,
I can still hear the screams.
The rumbling, the terrors,
The bending of steel beams.
An anguish that day,
Settled deep in my heart.
And never, not ever,
Will the memory depart.
For I keep it alive,
Like a candle's flame.
Flickering for them,
For every lost name.
In New York, In D.C.
And on a field in Pa.
Though its 10 years past.
I'll never forget that day.
