NEVER, NEVER WILL YOU ESCAPE MY MIND
I WAS YOUR DAUGHTER
OR WIFE, OR SISTER, YOU KNOW
I REMEMBER THE KISS
YOU PLANTED GENTLY
ON MY CHEEK
THAT EARLY MORNING
WHEN YOU WERE
READY TO EXIT THE DOOR
GOING TO WORK
LIKE ANY OTHER DAY
BUT THIS DAY
IT WAS DIFFERENT
A U-TURN IN LIFE
OUT OF YOUR HANDS
A DIFFERENT PLAN
TURNING MY WORLD
UPSIDE DOWN
THE LIGHT IT
WHISPERED LOW
THEN IT BECAME
DARK AS GOD REACHED
DOWN AND GENTLY
LIFTED YOU INTO HIS ARMS
THE DAY I WILL NEVER FORGET
THE DAY; THE DAY OF TRAGEDY
WHEN 9-11 STRUCK OUR LIVES
LEAVING A MASSACRE OF TEARS
WHICH SOMETIMES ESCAPE
MY EYES AND ESPECIALLY
TODAY AS I REMEMBER
NEVER, NEVER WILL YOU
ESCAPE MY MIND
DEAR GOD, PLEASE
GIVE HIM A HUG FOR ME
REMIND HIM I STILL
THINK OF HIM
EACH AND EVERY DAY.
