As The Summer Closes

Our summer is nearly over, and the autumn is on its way
With winter around the corner, yet another brand new day
As the sun shines down upon us, and revolves around our world
Dangling in the universe, our little globe is held
For all we want is peace and love, to be within our souls
The war and terror atrocities have also taken their toll
So as a new season opens, and the essence of time is near
We will walk hand in hand in peace, and we will not live in fear
You cannot change the goalposts and you cannot move the fence
What's written in the history books, doesn't always make much sense
Please remember them in your heart and remember them with love
Think of their poor kindred spirits looking down from the sky above
Today, will you please pray for them, with their families and friends
To let them know we are hurting still, and our sorrows we all send
Six painful years today have passed, and they say time will slowly heal
But how do they know all about our loved ones and what we truly feel
You may be gone, but not forgotten, you've just opened a brand new door
Just walked from life on the outer shell, and into the inner core
But as the summer closes, and the sun moves around our sphere
May you rest in peace right now, and the autumn skies be clear

A poem composed by myself on the sixth anniversary of 9/11.
