As I tucked my little one in his bed,
He looked at me and this he said.
Mommy, tell me the story of you know when,
When I was little, way before I was ten.
When all the tall buildings came tumbling down
And all the people ran all around.
Mommy tell me the story that is so sad,
About when those men were mean and so mad.
Mommy tell me again about the sad day,
The day when my daddy was taken away.
Mommy tell me again and please mommy don't cry,
Why did my daddy have to go and die.
Mommy I thought our country was the land of the free,
Now I am scared, what will happen to me.
So with a great sigh I said this to him
As each word was said my heart grew real dim.
Son, I know this is hard to understand,
But sometimes bad things happen in this land.
Yes its true we are suppose to be free,
But some people are mean and don't want us to be.
It happened September eleventh, two thousand and one
The terrible tragedy that scared everyone.
When your dad went to work on that day.
A bomb hit his building and blew it away.
Some men called terrorist, hyjacked a plane,
And set out to destroy and cause pain
The pentogon and world trade center were hit,
No one knows why it just doesn't fit.
Honey I am sorry daddy had to die,
But we aren't the only ones to say good-bye.
Lots of mommies and daddys, and little kids too.
Got taken away from their loved ones too...
As I looked at my son he held my hand tight,
Then in his sweet little voice he said this just right.
Mommy, he said, You say God is the light,
I am sure He will make everything right.
Although I miss daddy alot just like you
I know that he is watching me and you too.
Mommy I know this story is sad
And what those men did was really really bad.
So mommy I think it's time to pray,
And ask God to watch over everyone this day.
We will pray God will help us try and make it through
In everything we say and everything we do.
And mommy remember what you tell me to do,
Pray for the people that hurt you too.
And mommy remember if we ever part ,
I will always love you, from the bottom of my heart.
Good-nite mommy!!!!!!!!!
and
Good-nite daddy!!!!!!!!!!!!
