Who will remember
this day
who will stand an say
I was there
I stood in this destruction
who will note all the names
the very faces of those
not stood with you so
the echoes of their voices
travelling down the roads
unto the homes
they once lived
who will shed a tear
for the innocent
the lost
the pain inflicted
mentally physically
left scared
to carry on
this strength this resolve
that makes us human
will make them rebuild so
bigger stronger mightier
then ever before
with the knowledge those passed
will never be forgotten
the ability to move on
to fortify to envisage
the next part of their lives so
how fragile we all are
but how unique we be
when the time comes
that needs hands
held within each others
in the promise of another tomorrow
life is a endless circle
along the way a loss of two
will surely strike
making us pause
reflect on how special
each person is
thus becoming the engine
to continue
to rebuild
to create
to live
to love
to give
as always
as one
