It was a Morning just like any other

I got up and began a new day

Then I made my way to the Twin Towers

You didn’t know I’d be going away

But, you see I’m still here all around you

Nothing they did could take my sweet love

I was here living life to it’s fullest

The next Moment I was with God Above

I was with you as you got the phone call

I knelt next to you as you fell down

I tried to help you wipe your tears

As you pounded your fists on the ground

I’m not missing our family from Heaven

For from Heaven I’m right at your side

I love how you’ve honored my memory

The Strength you’ve shown fills me with Pride

And from now on when It’s 9-11

Please don’t give them the strength of your tears

Keep your Chin up and Honor my Legacy

Don’t let them fill you with their Fears

Just know that I will always love you

And I’m perfectly safe in God’s Light

Keep my laughter inside of your heart

I will visit you in dreams at night

So, Let the Pride of America shine Brightly

Let the Sweet Bells of Freedom Ring True

For there are many of us up in Heaven

And we are all here to watch over you
