Strucken:

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
