It
was
September
eleven,
a
morning
I
will
never
forget
I
woke
up
and
saw
your
message,
my
heart
was
full
of
excitement
yet
You
said, “
My
love,
I’
m
at
the
hospital,
I’
m
ready
for
the
C-section
today”
I
wanted
to
answer
you
quickly,
but
I
had
woken
up
too
late
By
the
time
I
saw
your
message,
you
were
already
in
that
room
Behind
those
theatre
doors,
my
darling,
I
never
knew
what
was
coming
soon
I
waited
for
the
sweetest
phone
call,
to
hear “
My
love,
your
son
is
here”
I
never
imagined
the
next
phone
call
would
become
my
greatest
fear
Oh,
Joyce,
the
sky
turned
gray
on
September
eleven
My
world
stood
still,
you
were
drifting
toward
heaven
I
lost
my
heart,
I
lost
my
home,
I
lost
my
brightest
star
I’
m
left
with
shadows
and
silence,
and
memories
of
who
we
are
Oh,
Joyce,
why
did
the
light
have
to
fade
so
fast?
September
eleven,
the
day
that
built
a
wall
between
our
future
and
our
past
The
hours
felt
like
lifetimes
waiting
in
that
hospital
hall
Praying
for
a
miracle,
praying
for
someone
to
hear
my
call
But
the
silence
grew
heavy,
the
air
became
thin
and
cold
I
watched
the
pieces
of
my
life
break,
a
story
left
untold
I
remember
your
smile,
I
remember
the
way
you
held
my
hand
Now
I’
m
walking
through
the
wreckage
of
a
broken,
shifting
sand
I
keep
looking
at
the
clock,
wondering
if
I
can
turn
it
back
To
the
morning
sun,
before
the
world
turned
into
black
Oh,
Joyce,
the
sky
turned
gray
on
September
eleven
My
world
stood
still,
you
were
drifting
toward
heaven
I
lost
my
heart,
I
lost
my
home,
I
lost
my
brightest
star
I’
m
left
with
shadows
and
silence,
and
memories
of
who
we
are
Oh,
Joyce,
why
did
the
light
have
to
fade
so
fast?
September
eleven,
the
day
that
built
a
wall
between
our
future
and
our
past
They
tell
me
time
will
heal
the
ache,
but
time
just
makes
it
real
I’
m
learning
how
to
carry
ghosts,
and
trying
how
to
feel
I
see
your
face
in
every
corner,
I
hear
your
voice
in
the
breeze
I’
m
down
on
the
floor,
Joyce,
brought
down
to
my
knees
If
I
could
trade
my
breath
for
yours,
I’
d
do
it
in
a
heartbeat
now
But
I’
m
just
a
broken
man
trying
to
figure
out
the
how
Our
son
is
growing
stronger,
he
has
your
eyes,
he
has
your
grace
And
every
time
I
hold
him,
I’
m
looking
for
your
missing
face
I
tell
him
all
about
you,
how
you
were
the
best
of
us
I’
m
trying
to
keep
the
faith,
trying
to
keep
your
light
from
turning
into
dust
September
eleven
isn’
t
just
a
date
upon
a
page
It’
s
the
day
the
curtain
fell,
it’
s
the
closing
of
the
age
I
love
you
still,
I
love
you
more
than
words
could
ever
say
Even
when
the
sun
goes
down,
even
in
the
cold
of
day
Oh,
Joyce,
the
sky
turned
gray
on
September
eleven
My
world
stood
still,
you
were
drifting
toward
heaven
I
lost
my
heart,
I
lost
my
home,
I
lost
my
brightest
star
I’
m
left
with
shadows
and
silence,
and
memories
of
who
we
are
Oh,
Joyce,
why
did
the
light
have
to
fade
so
fast?
September
eleven,
the
day
that
built
a
wall
between
our
future
and
our
past
September
eleven...
I
miss
you,
Joyce. (
Piano
slows
down)
Just
a
memory
now... (
Guitar
fades
out
into
silence)
