What loved ones never had a chance to say. 'For You'

For you my mother,father,sister,brother,
Daughter,son,husband,wife,
For you my grandfather,grandmother,aunt,uncle
Niece,nephew,cousin,godmother,godfather,
Neighbor,friend,the unborn.

I cannot explain
What happened today
You will understand it
More than I
The madness of this day
9/11.
I do know,I love you
And I am sorry for
The burden and pain
This has caused
My leaving,as you grieve.

For unwillingly
I have left you
I am alone
But not in my heart
That they did not take.

For within each
Moment you have cried
For me and prayed
For my return
I was with you
In your heart.

If all was possible
I would be
At your side
But you realize now
I will not be coming home.

Keep me with you
Go on with your life
Knowing that I loved you
For the days we shared
And the memories
I have left with you
I know they have
Come too soon.

But know this
I will love you beyond
The days of silence
Always,

For you my mother,father,sister,brother,
Daughter son,husband,wife
For you my grandfather,grandmother,aunt,uncle,
Niece,nephew,cousin,godmother,godfather
Neighbor,friend,the unborn
For you are the ones
I loved.
