MY WORK OF ART

One Hero

It’s been years ago if any

Of the things we won’t forget

There’s one hero just too many

That fall season had beget

It changed of course so many lives

And who could bare the strain

Not everyone who lives survives

When they’ve died inside from pain

But that is just from memory

And thoughts you cannot touch

And for many who sacrificed themselves

One hero just too much

Like today’s clear blue sky afternoon

From a corner of the sky

I see a plane sail effortlessly

From the corner of my eye

It pulls thoughts from my memory

That I have to let get by

Maybe one day I won’t reminisce

But still I have to try

What I see displayed and plenty

So we can’t forget ground zero

All those that were lost it’s sad

Just like one too many hero

Mother’s father’s helping

You know they’re heroes too

Someone help that fireman

Who knows just what to do

Tangled wreckage of solitude

Can someone make a sound

Twisted in a state of grief

And that officer is down

Ten years we let our feelings show

Something we cannot lag

There’s so much more left healing

Under a waving flag

So let’s decide we will be

Each other’s strength to crutch

The pain we feel when we feel the loss

One hero just too much
