as I sit in my old familiar chair
\nsipping my morning coffee
\nwhile mournfully pondering
\nwhat words seem right to write
\non this day of days,
\nthe day remembered
\nby many
\nas \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 9\/11
\never so mystically
\nas if preordained
\nby the hand of Nature
\na kindly, gentle wind blew
\nthrough the front door window
\nstirring my downtrodden thoughts
\nhelping me to recall a feeling
\nquite partial to comfort
\nway, way back
\nfrom my
\nyounger years
\nof the times while napping
\nupon the bed of my childhood room
\na breeze from a lazy summer day
\nwould blow through the window
\nfor a moment making me feel
\nall in life was well and secure
\n~ \u00a0 \u00a0oh how I wish
\non this day of days,
\nthe day remembered
\nby many
\nas \u00a0 ~ \u00a0 9\/11
\nthat a similar
\ncomforting wind
\nof a kindly and gentle nature
\nsurrounds all those still hurting
\nbecause of what was lost that day
\non September 11th, 2001
\nand for a moment
\nno matter
\nhow \u00a0briefly
\nmake them feel
\nall in life, once again
\nwill be well and secure<\/p>\n
peace out<\/p>\n
