I lost a friend today
One I did not know
but a friend dear to me
for my heart tells me so

I do not know their name
how they spoke or look
but what I do know is this
their life were senselessly took

Why must this happen
in this world of ours
why must there be pain and anger
bellowing through the sky and stares

So many innocent people
in a flash lost their lives
here one moment gone the next
and does anyone even know why

We live in America
home of of the free and brave
we live in peace
and now we take so many to their grave

I sit and wonder
is this a dream
does anyone really understand
what all of this truly means

Our ancestors in years past
fought to make us all free
thank the Lord our God
they can not see as we

See the anguished faces
not a word need to be said
as we pass people in the street
all we can do is lower our head

Reach out Americans
hold hand to hand
all across this nation
let us all save our land

I dedicate this poem in loving memory of all who perished on September 11, 2001. With hope and prayers, may their family members and friends know that all of us thru out the world are holding them close to our hearts.
