Sad Silence
World Trade Center Sad Silence
September 11, 2001 Through the eyes of an eight year old
I heard the glass hit the ground,
even though I only seen it through a screen
I could feel the pain go through so many life lines,
even though I could only hear their screams
Little children wait for parents to come home,
but the only thing that will is love that will always be with them
An invisible hand gently touching their cheek...
