A Poem of Mourning

 

A Normal Day

by

Edna Pellena

*In dedication to all those who were lost during 9/11, and to all the families who have lost them.*


A normal day 

He's on his way

To work once more to pay

The bills that are stacked up, their payment so late


By the lobby 

Dropping off his baby

Saying hello to the front desk lady

Ready to start work with a smile on his face


Just the norm

Not expecting the oncoming lorn

Caused by the chaos as it's born

Not expecting he'd be mourned

Not knowing what was in store

Not knowing he was the farthest from safe
