A Nations Peom
To the Friends I Never Knew

I never saw you smile,
or wiped away your tears

I never heard you laugh,
I never knew your fears

I never had the chance to know,
the love you held within your heart

But I was right there with you,
the day our world fell apart

I watched in horror and disbelief
as the planes came crashing down

I prayed that you would survive
all the rubble on the ground

I lit a candle and I prayed for those
we knew were already gone

And I tried to make some sense of it,
as the search continued on

I didn't want to listen when,
they said hope was at an end

I couldn't bear to loose,
another unknown friend

Your loved ones are not alone,
a nation shares their pain

And we stand before God and vow,
your death shall not be in vain
