Light One Candle - by Maria L. Nicastro

Light one candle 
Say a silent Prayer 
Hold the ones close 
Who are no longer there 

A nation once stood strong and true 
Being invincible was all that we knew 
Then everything changed... Quick as a flash 
Many lives abruptly taken... In the first massive crash 

Smoke ... Rubble ...  Blood ... Sweat and Tears 
To those who have sacrificed 
We wish you were still here 

United we shall stand 
Undeclared soldiers each one was brand 
But in vain you did not fall 
Restitution will be grand 
Rest in peace ... One and all 

Light one candle 
Say a silent Prayer 
Hold the ones close 
Who are no longer there  

There's an Angel Watching Over Us - by John Brian Quinn

It's a gray overcast day 
In late November 
The fourth time I've been 
Down this way 
The pain in my heart rises 
As soon as I walk out 
The subway station 
But I had to be here for you 
I'm not afraid to be here 
As I know 
There's an Angel watching over us. 

Our eyes fill with tears 
Pictures line the walls 
And the picket fences 
Thousands of dreams 
Shattered in an instant 
A soft rain starts to fall 
Could it have been sent 
By you? 
To show us both 
The depth of your love 
And the tears still within you 
It's an unmistakable sign 
There's an Angel watching over us. 

Loved ones write their own 
Words of sorrow and grief 
On a huge makeshift sheet 
I struggle through my tears 
To tell you those precious words 
I couldn't tell you 
When you were here 
In this life 
Now the rain and the tears 
Have left together 
And the sun peeks 
Through the clouds 
Now I am so confident 
There's an Angel watching over us. 

I've been down this way 
Three times before 
But this will be the final 
Time I come down here 
The heartache for me 
Is just too great 
Seeing that terrible site 
Where you left this world 
I'd rather remember 
The good times we shared 
You'll always be 
Safe in my heart Sweetie 
I'll never break 
The Promise I made to you 
On the Brooklyn Bridge 
You'll always be alive 
In my heart forever 
I'll never be afraid to die 
Because I'll see you again 
One day I know 
And because from above 
There's an Angel watching over me.
