From Just Rhyme No Reason
Just Missing 9-17-01 By Roger Barnes
The day started out with a cloudless blue sky
Like so many days have before
There was no way to know what lies just ahead
And the things we will all have in store
We all know where we were and what we were doing
When we got the sad news of that hour
That a plane had just crashed and the worse news of all
Was that it had just hit the twin tower
We all stood and watched as the fire billowed out
And the air would suddenly turn black
Then the next plane came in and there was no doubt
This had to be an attack
As we all tried to think who could do this thing
To show such a gross lack of pity
In so short a time with a murderous act
Just rip out the heart of a city
Yet more is to come as if this is not enough
A plan of horrific sensation
Another two planes with hi-jackers on board
Will shoot for the heart of the nation
To all those fathers, mothers, daughters and sons
Wives and husbands so many miss kissing
They remain in their heart and they won't let them die
To them they will remain as just missing
