In Memoriam

[Bobby Del Boy]

In Memoriam... 9/11/01

We honor the victims of nine eleven
the faithfully departed now in heaven
Today we remember, pray and reflect
three thousand souls today we respect

A beautiful day with deep blue skies
completely shattered by demonic lies
American Heroes raced into action
saving lives their first reaction

America's resolve proven the best
history shows we passed the test
Today we pray for the families to heal
we can only imagine how they feel

On this day Lord, we offer this prayer
heal the families with your loving care
we pray one day they will be whole
bravery in the end, we say, "Let's Roll"

I heard a debate this morning on the radio: some folks say we should stop reposting things about the terrorist attack because it's too painful - families can't heal; other people say we need to remember how atrocious it was so that it's never repeated.

I imagine whatever is done, tragedy will happen again. Evil is not some abstract thing which shows up or not. It is born in the heart of man from a prideful need and greed.

Your poem is beautiful Bobby. Thank you for helping us remember with grace. Hopefully humanity will do better.
