So just how do we begin to express Anything close to the feelings Those emotions felt so strongly Toward all who sacrificed For those who are blessedly still here with us And those precious ones Whose names are etched forever Gray against black How do we hope to begin Giving the fitting gratitude Due these most righteous heroes What can possibly compensate For the profound loss There is nothing There are no words Perhaps this will be a start… Can it possibly ever be enough? Maybe it is just one voice But soon to be joined By an army of voices In a chorus Overpoweringly loud Thank you Thank you Oh my God, thank you |
