10 years Have Passed

10 years have passed, since 9/11,

10 years they've rested, up in heaven,

10 years of pain, with sorrow we've cried,

10 years ago, countless loved ones have died.

10 years we've felt, an empty void,

10 years of memories, terrorists destroyed,

10 years ago, we saw them last,

10 years of thinking about the past.

10 years without their kiss or touch,

10 years we've missed them, so, so much.

10 years later we're still asking why?

10 years have passed, but we can't say goodbye!

by Martin Dejnicki

My heart goes out to all the families and friends of the 2977 victims of September 11, 2001.
