why we should remember

do you have to write about it...
i'm tired of it, i'll admit...
why must you mention *that* again...
do you like reliving that pain...

no, but...

we should remember
and never forget
that day we were changed
much to our regret

every day, tears are in your eyes...
and i'm sick of hearing you cry...
why aren't you sleeping well at night...
why do you feel the need to write...

because...

we should remember
and never forget
all we lost that day
due to terror's threat

towers are gone, they won't come back...
they were levelled in that attack...
why are you acting so afraid...
over time, the mem'ries will fade...

how can you say that?

we should remember
and never forget
memories still fresh
newscasts still upset
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

to those who say, "get over it," this is
my response...i will always remember
and never forget...and shame on you
if you do. i had someone ask me why
i have to keep writing about it, and why
i couldn't just "get on" with my life. this
is why...i will remember and never forget.
(((HUGS))) and love, karla. :(

Of course we need to write about this, so many lives have vanished. How can we forget?

Some memories are worth writing about, but some don't.

There is a reason to remember. Only fools walk away in their attempt to forget. Now, especially is not the time to forget. Great work Karla!

Some things are just so hard to forget. They are etched on our souls forever.

Karla, Don't stop writing about this! I'll never stop. I look at it this way, if God didn't want us to write them,,he wouldn't give us the words to put on the paper. Too many people's lives were changed so fast that day,,,that they may never be able to express what they went through and are still going through. That is why we write. So keep writing! Lisa

Hi Karla,
I posted one last week because I will never forget. I lost 9 friends in the trade center
and it left a void in my life forever. I thought I only wrote a few to vent my anger but wound
up with about 30 that I have put in a book. I watched as a young man as they were built and as an older man I watched
them fall! I still can't believe it. If you want read " A Year's Passing - Can You Hear Her" I wrote it about a week ago. I can't believe how fast people forget
what really happened to the world that day because I never will. Thanks for this write, it is very necessary. Gregg

Hey sweetie;
Write for you hun.. don't let anyone tell you what you should or shouldn't write. <smile> I too, shall never forget... but have never found the words to express how utterly completely my life was changed... in a blink of an eye.

Love;
Melanie

i write too because of september 11 (but didn't really start writing until may 3rd of this year; still, the words WERE there on september 11, but i was unable to express them for a very long time). thank you for your gift, and thank you for your inspiration; you are one of the reasons i started to write, and jesus gave me the gift. so i am doubly blessed. great job, as always, and keep up the great work!! love, and (((HUGS))), your twinkie, karen. xxooxxoo
