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.
