a moment

Tears stain my face for those lost,

So little we knew

So much gone

Families torn from their loved ones,

Hearts in pain,

with a quiet dawn

a wake of cries

in the path of death and destruction

it came so fast

And left so much

fear... pain... ache... and regret

We place so much value on what we can buy,

But what we can buy, can be bought again...

THAT which we cannot

will be what we truly miss

As far as I know, I knew not one

But they're in my heart, as though I was ripped apart

A moment of silence for them today

As i close my eyes

and wish I prayed

My heart aches
