Cry No More For Me



When I left for work that morning
I did not know that I would never come back.
With an autumn blue sky and clouds you could almost touch
who would of ever thought of a terrorist attack.

Some say it was our jobs and after all
it was what their taxes paid us for.
But to me, my brothers and sisters
it was our life, what we lived and died for.

That moment it all happened was just a flash
I never felt anything, there was no pain.
The only thing I truly remember of that day
was the angels calling name after name.

Flashes of my life I saw before me
now they are all in the past.
With no longer need to worry about tomorrow
peaceful eternity now and forever will last.

Your tomorrow will start without me
but we will never be far apart.
With every moment you think of me
I will forever be in your heart.

As we all stood before God
as he sat upon his great throne.
We knew what we were there for
to enter our permanent home.

We know of all the tears and pain
from loved ones we had to leave behind.
We hope these words will help many 
but answers to why, even we could not find.

Our hearts are full of sorrow wishing everyone would understand
We did what we loved “Our Jobs” and would do it over again.
Your hearts have our memories of what we did and who we were,
may that give you courage and strength to help wherever you can.

Help America stay the way it was intended
  a country that will always stay strong and free.
              Do whatever that has to be done to protect those rights
but please
    “cry no more for me.”
