Don’t know the reason
Don’t know the why
Still saddened by the outcome
Even if time has so long gone by.

Prayers for those lost
Prayers for those taken
All have paid
Such a unbelievable cost.

Don’t know the reason
Don’t know the why
Saddened by the outcome
All I do is cry, cry.
~ Patrice  

My thoughts and prayers are with all victims of 9/11.

A Dark Day

A dark day, a quiet day
Busy hoping the bad will go away
But still anger fills the land
Don’t understand, don’t understand.

Silent caution undertakes
To make the world a safer place
No blaming you, no blaming me
Just live in wonder, in harmony.

Darkest night is all we fear
Not one another, no foe, no peer
We walk in morning not with dread
Only thoughts of love instead.

9/11

September 11, 2011

Ponder well your journey
In the past and ask
Did I do all that could be done
To stop this tragedy?

Lives lost, such a waste
Nothing gained only
Empty, empty space .

Touch their souls
Let them see
A heart beats here
Knowing their courageousness.
