September...it was....

During the senior school years 

there were hardly any fears

and the best I remember

was the movie 'Come September'

the dance was the Twist'

Rock n Roll was also on the list

It was so peaceful I can still hear

the silence of the summer,the snow and the mist;

Then came the younger days when

care and responsibility ensnares

life's serious order is 'stay in the den'

do not dare and face many 'bewares'

but the September that came

brought a war of blame

so many brave died

so many fled and lied'

nothing was gained

nothing dark came to light

the only outcome of all that might'

was the beginning of another long fight;

so yet again September it was

my daughter's life took a turn

we found the right boy to wed

and all was joy and vows were said;

amid all this happiness and fun

there came a shock to two not one,

the event that made the world

shake and tremble, on the 11th of September;

will there ever be peace again

when we could hear the drops of rain

when light was the hurt and less was the pain

when we could dance to the tune...that I remember

Yes it was, it was, it was...'Come September'...

OH September....? whither your joys and peace?
