Poem Artwork


To a Special Friend

She was full of life, very intelligent and wise

A faithful mom to her family and son

Even though he lived overseas she would come

And visit her son every year and stay and pray

Thank the lord for giving us this moment together

And live another day…

She lived in New York

A truth seeker she embarked

Not feeling well on this special day

Her bossed called and she went in to

Work anyway, she was supposed to be off

When she made it to the Twin Towers she

Was on the phone talking with her daughter

On the 27th floor, not realizing to see us again

Would be no more, it sounded like thunder

When the first plane hit

Many lives were affected, and many more wit

The saddest part of all was many lives lost,

To a special son,

He had just lost his mom

What a beautiful tribute. The sadness will always be there,
but Memory serves those who truly love well. As time passes,
we remember more and more good things about a lost loved one.
Feel his or her presence grow stronger, rather than weaker.
Thank you for writing this. Blue Skies and Red Roses, 'Pea' <3

Truly sad, and truly an American tragedy that no one will ever forget. And truly sorry to hear about your own personal loss, Birgit and Roger.

Words are almost impossible to dreg up. All those people. Dead. Gone. And for what? Allah told the *^#$* to do it? And we, in this country, are so politicallly correct we can't even mention the word Muslim without charges of racism and whatever. I am sorry for this woman and her family. I am sorry for all of the people and their families on that horrendous day.

It does come down to that, doesn't it. He lost his mother...it doesn't really matter how it happened or the circumstances that surrounded it, he lost his mother. How very sad it is and how very lonely it will be for him for the rest of his days. Beautiful tribute to someone who touched so many and left too soon.
Take care,
Sherry

This is a beautiful and fitting tribute to a very special human being and mother, who perished in the despicable events of 9/11..
May the Lord have mercy on her soul and family, Birgit and Roger !
