A Year Today (remembering 9/11/2001)

Folder: 
9/11 Poems

A year today

since you left,

my heart still feels

the loneliness.



The families are still

overcome with sadness,

in their hearts and minds,

you still live on.



A year today

who can forget

their last good-byes?



The tears that fell

on that fateful day,

who could have known,

you wouldn't be coming back?



A year today

I still remember

watching the towers fall,

how could someone

do such a thing?



So many innocent lives,

no time to prepare

themselves for anything.



A year today

all the memories

will go on.



To all the families

that have lost loved ones,

my heart still goes out,

to all of you.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Seeing the pictures and hearing the names being called out, still made me cry.
