RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Remembrance (911)
We remember tragedy
Memories of sorrow never go away
Rage yields to anger
Anger eventually fades
Leaving sorrow in its place
A sorrow that abates
Twenty-one years later
We remember the towers
As if it were today
The great abiding sorrow remains
But the anger is gone
We are no longer afraid
We have done what we have done
Felt what we have felt
And we have put it in its place
It is a sacred place
A place of mourning
A place of solitude
Above all a place of remembrance
September 11 is a promise
A promise to the nation
A promise to the world
A promise to the victims
A promise to the families
That we will never ever forget
