it's thanksgiving day, dear
i think about what's happened in the last year
as i sit down in our lonely apartment
i'm overwhelmed by feelings of sentiment

it's thanksgiving day, dear
i've never felt so lonely without you here
you were taken from me that september day
and since then, my days have been cloudy and gray

it's thanksgiving day, dear
when i least expect it i break down in tears
memories of you still overtake my mind
why were you taken--you were gracious and kind

it's thanksgiving day, dear
sometimes i see your face hear your voice so clear
am i going crazy?? what is WRONG with me???
why wasn't it ME under all that debris???

it's thanksgiving day, dear
the second thanksgiving day without you near
i'm angry i'm sad...confused feelings still throb
a lifetime together taken...i've been ROBBED

it's thanksgiving day, dear
as i sit here--alone--the sadness still sears
i need to go on...but how i miss you so
my tears are falling softly, like winter snow

it's thanksgiving day, dear
in my memories in my nights you appear
i love you i need you i miss you so much
i'd give anything to hold you, feel your touch
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

dedicated with love to those that won't be here
this thanksgiving...those that lost their lives in
the attacks of september 11, 2001. we miss
them so much...

"always remember and never, ever forget."

(((HUGS))) and love, karla. :(
