PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I did not know you...



The office worker,

firefighter,

business person,

police officer,

rescue worker,

soldier,

traveler,

mother,

father,

husband,

wife,

sibling,

child.



I did not know any of you,

but I grieved along

with your families

and a nation so bereaved.



I never saw any of your faces,

until they were on every

television,

newspaper

and magazine.



But I know you now-

and in your eyes

I have seen

every one of us.



For any one of us

could have been

in your place

that day.



I may not know

all of your names,

but I shall never

forget you.



In memory of you...

I shall never forget.
