For The Friends I Never Knew I never saw you smile, or wiped away your tears, I never heard you laugh; I never knew your fears. I never had the chance to know the love you held within your heart, But I was right there with you the day our world fell apart. I watched in horror and disbelief as the planes came crashing down, I prayed that you would survive all the rubble on the ground. I lit a candle and prayed for those we knew were already gone, And I tried to make some sense of it, as the search continued on I didn't want to listen when they said hope was at an end, I couldn't bear to loose another unknown friend. Your loved ones are not alone; a nation shares their pain, And we will not allow your death to be in vain. © Madona Smyser 9-27-01 Lady Madona Back Home Site Index Next
