October Pain
A day I hate to remember
Still a day we can never forget
The pain will haunt us forever
Filled with sorrow and empty regret
They were taken from us so very young
Their lives had only just begun
Our world changed forever
On that fatal day
All those painful feelings
We kept buried away
As our tears fell like rain drops
Till there were none left to cry
We looked to the heavens
With a single word “WHY?”
Over the years our faith to the test
The pain in our hearts
Can never rest
Until the day we see them
On the other side
Then suddenly I realize
Part of us
Already died
