Never Forget

Where were you when the world stood still?

In that moment the world became changed

With an imprint of terror

Forged forever in fire

When destruction fell down like fall rain?

 

Were you drinking your coffee?

Were you driving to work?

Were you holding your babe to your heart?

Were you humming a song?

Were you righting a wrong?

Were you ironing your favorite shirt?

 

Where were you when the world broke in

disrupting your everyday plans?

and disturbing the notion

that safety and peace

were the inalienable rights of all man…

Were you calling your mother?

Were you taking a bath?

Were you going through the motions of your day?

Were you baking a cake?

Were you planning a break up

and trying to find  the right words to say?

 

Where were you when the message came

That nothing in life is for sure?

And all we get is each moment with no guarantees

of tomorrow, next week or next year…

 

 Are you speaking a kind word?

Are you doing your part

to comfort and never cause pain?

Remember those moments

With your head and your heart

So the terror did not happen in vain…

 

Remember the message, remember the date

Remember nothing in life is for sure

for all we get is each moment with no guarantees

of tomorrow, next week or next year…
