Five Years Later
Let this pen,
Tell you a story about fallen men
Father’s and Siblings found eternal sleep
It’s not a pretty sight when grown men weep
Five years later and questions still remain
Families look for the closure that they can never gain
Some nights seem colder than others
We lost fathers, mothers, sisters and brothers
Who is to be the one that is blamed?
Is it Iraq or people that are best not named?
The media says it was a day that will go down in history
Our leaders say that we won’t stop until we can solve this mystery
Is our country ready for another act of terrorism?
Or will our young soldiers try to achieve heroism
These question are asked every single day
Let us honor those that tragically passed away
As we try to give a better life to the children of tomorrow
Together we can conquer any form of pain or sorrow
