Simple Heroes

My thoughts are with those who lost theirs lives ten years ago today. 
My thoughts are with their family, friends and loved ones.

You will never be forgotten.

"Child"

CHILD

Congratulations child
You’ve done somethin’ in life
That most people dream of
Only in the night

You shine so brightly
Nothing fazes you
Something burns inside
That never fades in you

What’s gone wrong?
What changes you?
So free a child
Something’s killing you

Where does it come from?
What’s tainting you?
I see you slipping
I fear for you

Can I help you child?
Hold you close
If I could only talk to you
I’m at such a loss

If only I knew the words
If only I had the chance
If only I noticed you
Then you would not pass

I feel I failed you
Left you behind
I still watch for you
You’re always in our minds
