I did not forget last year, or the year before
I didn’t forget five years ago, or even four.
I won’t forget tomorrow, I won’t forget today
God give us peace and bless the USA.
…that said, today gives me pause. Not only does my heart ache for the families of those who lost so much on this day a decade ago. But my heart aches for those who’ve lost so much since then. For the little eyes that have witnessed much tragedy. The little hands who have touched such sorrow. And little hearts that may go on broken. No matter your race, religion, or political status, we should all be compassionate enough to remember that we’re not the only ones who have seen sorrow and destruction in the days since. And I hope and pray that we all see peace one day.
