THE REASON WE’RE FREE
BY: KathrynO.

Liberty and freedom have always come at a cost
...

You were the light
That shown so bright
An essence so alive
On which we all thrived
...

What we have lost can never be regained
From no other person will we be so entertained

The beautiful light that took the world by storm
...

Beautiful blue eyes, bright with delight
These beautiful eyes, to me are the light

If the eyes are the window to the soul
...

What makes me sad? Why do I cry?
Only ones without hearts have to ask why
Having compassion, a heart so caring
Filled with emotion, my tears start flowing
...

Oh little one, for you I stand
Oh little one, your life I defend
A voice that can no longer be heard
Justice for you, I will not be deterred
...

Terror struck out of the blue
Why? No one knew
A second plane hit, it now became clear
America under attack, all full of fear
...

DEAR MICHAEL

Michael will you be there when I get to the gate
