How can we turn away so soon,
From horror to more happy things;
To birthday cakes, vacation plans,
Or gleaming, gold engagement rings?
Dear Souls, who perished on that day,
Don't think we have forgotten you.
We simply have gone on our way,
Making unfinished dreams come true.

You didn't live to achieve deeds
That were important in your schemes.
Now we must carry on for you
Nor let the foe frustrate your dreams.
We are waiting for our leaders
To set the path our feet must trod;
To insure our country's freedom,
And find you justice, under God.

I am sure we could never forget..and I know they would want us to keep on living and pursuing our dreams..and in time I know their murderers will be punished. I am glad we are not rushing in..but rooting them out.

Life must go on...and they will be punished, I pray for the families as I know we all do.

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

Joyce~
It truly reads well ... but I'm just not ready to 'go on' yet~

To each a pace their hearts can keep, I guess~
I know it will eventually come ... but I don't know when just yet~
