Remember Me

Re posting this poem in memory of the victims, the first responders, and their families whose lives were destroyed by the tragic events of 9-11-01.

When you see the trees

remember me

as they shade you there

with their broad green leaves.

 

When you feel the rain

let it cool your skin

and think of me

as I was back then.

 

When you see the stars

in the bright night sky

make a wish

as you close your eyes.

 

A wish to keep

what we had found,

a love that was real

and so profound.

i am glad that you choose to re-post this heartfelt tribute..that it points me to nature all around me i can offer up my thanks for those loves lost as they remain so meaningful in untimely death ..the cowardly murder of innocent people with complete disregard should never be forgotten .. and the rejoicing in those towers rebuilt...stronger and more resilient than ever ... i love your poem...reading is a blessing ...

Thank you for this very kind, heartfelt review my friend. You have such a way with words, the review itself is poetry in motion. I am so glad my poem moved you. There are no words that adequately sum up the emotion we all felt that day, but it is necessary that we continue to pay them tribute in hopes that their needless sacrifice was not in vain.

[Einstein Noodle]

Thank you so much! I am so pleased my poem had this effect on you. When suffering such a great loss it seems our memories are the key to start the healing process.

A gentle if sadly poignant tribute to tragedy. Seems something we have to get used to with the combination of natural and man made disasters of recent years. So sad.

[Dara]

It is so very sad and only seems to be getting worse. Trying to stay positive to keep hope alive. Thank you a thousand times for visiting my page and your very thoughtful comments.

Visiting the 9/11 Memorial is #1 on my bucket list, and your words are etched upon our hearts, just like the memory of that day!

[Dara]

Thank you so much Kelly. I visited Ground Zero after most of the wreckage had been cleared. It was a very spiritual yet heartwrenching experience. Our world forever changed that day.

' When you see the stars ~ in the bright night sky ~

Your sadly beautiful words pay such a sincere and gentle tribute to those who died on 9/11.

[Dara]

Thank you my friend. The events of that tragic day can be quite overwhelming, depressing. I hope the survivors find solace in the memories they have stored of their loved ones. Once again, your kind words have soothed this ol' heart. Many thanks!

Most definitely, sharing the load makes it so much lighter.....
