Everyday we see kids suffering from abuse and poverty
Everyday we sit back and hope someone else will step in and fix the problem.
Everyday we ignore the screams next door,
Everyday we hope she will leave and then the screams will stop.
Everyday we walk past the homeless,
Everyday we hope and whisper a pray for someone to help them and you couldn't even spare 10cents
Everyday we see families enjoying a day out with the kids and having good times,
Everyday we hope that mum and dad will always be there for us today and tomorrow.
Everyday we we see the signs that someone in our family is yearning for help ,love and acceptance,
Everyday we watch them die as a result of there silence that cannot be broken.
Everyday we judge others and overlook all the aspects of who they are and only accept what we choose to accept.
Everyday we still close our eyes and walk by .

September 11
A mothers heart is torn from all angles of her soul,
A father tries to catch a breath to try and comprehend what has just happened
A daughter screams to try and ease the pain that has brutalized her life
A son yearns just a touch a smile from his dad
A grandmothers heart stops beating for the grandson she has lost without a chance
A father closes his eyes in despair hoping his daughter will walk through the door to tell him how her day was
These people have lost the people that are dear to there hearts and there is no way there souls and hearts can be repaired from the peices that have been shattered by the motivation of evil , it snatched the light that once beamed in there hearts.
The shadow and the dust that dwelled in the streets of New York so many died on this day with out undersatnding and with out a chance to live who could have known that that day would be there last.

Taken
The day you were taken
How can I ever forget
I have a lifetime to understand
Why that day came so soon
The day you were taken you never said goodbye
You never said a word
So many years have gone by
So many changes in my life good and bad
Nothing can compare to the day you were taken
I can never restore
I can never erase
I can never explain
Why you left
You were the greatest loss in my life
I would sacrifice all I have to see you smile just one more time .
I will spend my whole life missing you .
