"Why?"

Why did this tragedy happen?
Why did the terrorists come from the sky?
Why did all those innocent people,
Have to suffer and die?

I don't think there are any answers;
Not for us to understand.
It goes far beyond our reasoning;
I don't think we ever can.

We only know how sad we feel;
The pain we feel inside.
Pain that all the world can see.
Its impossible to hide.

I know that I will always feel;
This sadness in my heart.
For all those precious loved ones;
Whose lives were ripped apart.

Let us join our hands together;
And pray with one another.
For all those affected by this horrible act;
Our sister and our brother.

Let us show who did this deed;
That we are one, and we are free.
That this United States of ours;
Is all one Family!
