					A Year Of Lost Songs |  |  |  Time 
						whispers their names, sings their praises.
 
 Each day... new heroes emerge.
 The wives, the little 
						ones born,
 the mothers, fathers, grandparents,
 firefighters, policemen,
 who carry on, walk one step
 at a time. Missing the smile
 of a Daddy, the 
						footsteps on
 the doorstep never heard, again,
 a 
						child's happy feet racing
 through the rooms of a 
						house.
 The memories pouring over, running
 down 
						into the heart. Breaking
 upon the sea of tears,
 cried into the oceans of
 grief. The kiss of sunlight
 settling on tear stained cheeks.
 
 Tomorrow, 
						yesterday... flashes
 of time, glimpses of a year
 left in the ashes of September 11th.
 
 Lost songs 
						singing...
 If only we could turn back time
 ~~~if 
						only, if only~~~
