Thoughts about life by georgiasstud

I wrote this poem around this time of the year right after 9/11. It is just as true this year as it was then. As usual I will make no excuses for what it says and I wont apologise if someone finds it offensive

All I will say is that I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas

Its that time of year

It’s the time of year
When love overflows
And all the little children’s
Faces are aglow

It’s the time of year
When we salute our god
And thank him for he
Has the hardest job

It’s the time of year
When kids can’t sleep
But we can’t forget
Those who have to weep

For even though
It’s a joyous time
We still have hero’s
Who are putting it on the line

We celebrate Jesus’s birth
By giving gifts to the ones we love
But this year we should give thanks
To the ones who went above

They didn't ask to be there
They didn't deserve to die
And now on this Christmas a lot of families
Are asking why

It’s the time of year
When parents watch their children with glee
But we have to remember that all families
Are not that lucky

A parent awakes
Without a spouse
And softly cries as they move
Through an empty house

But their tears
They can’t show
When the kids awake
Away the tears must go

A child is going to ask
Its inevitable you see
Why cant mom or dad
Be here with me

What did they do
To deserve to die
They didn't even know them people
So why did death come from the sky

They had so many plans
Hopes and dreams to
But now their gone
So what are they to do

They have to live
Life goes on
And it would be a dishonor to them
If their dreams were gone

To give up
Is what they want us to do
But we are bigger than that
We will live our life and honor them to

Everyone says we
Have to move on
And put it in the past
Cause its over done and gone

That is bull
As anyone knows
It will always live in the hearts of the
Ones who lost and suffered so

There are so many hero’s
That came to be
But they have always been there
We were just to blind to see

They are firemen
Policemen and EMT’s
But don’t forget the countless numbers
Of good Samaritans who are hero’s to you see

Its that time of the year
When everything is aglow
But take time to say a prayer
For those still trapped below

So as you open your gifts
And enjoy the day
Take time to remember those
Whose Christmas has to be a different way

Remember the children
Whose parents are gone
And the spouse’s who has to live
And celebrate all alone

Its that time of the year
This year more than most
To think the lord above
For the father, son and Holy Ghost

To thank him and
Understand it to you see
It’s not a religion that killed them
Those bastards don’t have religion like you and me

They say their god
Says this should be
But my god would never do something
So stupid and cruel you see

So say a prayer
For all involved in this tragedy
Then enjoy your day cause I am sure
The victims would have wanted it that way

Its that time of the year
When peace should be free
But this year a lot of innocent people died
To make that possible for you and me

We can’t allow the deaths
To be in vain
It brought our country together
But that’s a helluva price to pay for what we gain

So say a prayer
To the lord above
To watch out for all the people
Who needs his love

Its that time of year
Hold your family tight
And before you go to sleep
In remembrance leave on one light
