RESTLESS NIGHTS

With the thought of each tomorrow

Still lingering in their head,

They lay their thoughts down for the night

To seek rest for what lays ahead

The tangled steel—the iron cold beams

Still haunt them through the night

But they must rest their body

For to continue the valiant fight

They toss and turn and do not sleep

Because their brethren died young

They were stolen from the life they had

On the day of 911.

But, tomorrow is another day

And rest they must tonight

May God bless and watch them over

And tomorrow continue to do the right.

They represent all those that lost

The battle with their health

They did what they were trained to do

Without any thought of self.

This story does not end

With justice for the right

But, it instead goes on and on

And continues to be played each night

But someday this story will play a very different tune

And it will come not any time to those who need it soon

For justice is the right path for each and every one

It is time to know they need to honor---every American son
