Forever Mine, No Matter What
Everyone remembers that day
Confusion & chaos everywhere
She was in the 2nd Grade
A scared little 7 year old girl
Having no idea of what’s going on
Going home with mom
Watching the news
They replay the event 100 times
Mom calling everyone with
Frightened frantic chime
In her voice
After a while
She understood
The “Twin Towers” had fallen
In a matter of 5
Minutes a plane crashes
And we have some new
“Bad guy” to look for
The years have passed
And now, she is 13
She finally realizes she had
No direct connection to the tragedy
No one in her family had passed away
She had lost nothing
But now, Al Quiada, had taken
Something away from a girl
She never knew
The Twin Towers...
She has lived
In New York all her life
She had never seen them
And now she never will
She’d seen it all except
For them
You never know what you
Have until it’s gone
I hate when people take something
Away from me
That I never had a chance
To connect with
My grandfather from my father
Died
I never got a chance
To meet him
And he meant so much
To my father and now
I’ll never get to meet him
It all goes back to terrorism
It all goes back to hate
Man hates man
But tomorrow is a new day,
A clean slate,
A new date,
A chance to outlive
An unwanted fate
