There's this contest at my school,
I was wondering which poem you guys liked better, if either of them are any good at all, and if I should enter.
***** Yes, I know they are both sad, the contest is about 9/11/01.
Poem #1:
I could've never imagined what would happen;
When I called in sick that day,
I didn't know that those buildings would fall,
That those planes would cause so much pain.
I never dreamed that all of New York,
Would be devestated in so many ways;
All those innocent lives;
Lost as the buildings went up in flames.
As soon as I heard the news,
I turned on the T.V.,
I couldn't believe what I was seeing,
As the horror unfolded before me.
My loved ones worked in those buildings;
My best friends office was on floor twenty - three,
I don't understand why anyone would do this;
It could've easily been me.
I replayed the image from the television;
Over and over in my head;
While planes crashed into my office;
I had decided to stay in bed.
I wish with everything I had,
That I could change that one day in time;
I feel so lonely and helpless,
I never got the chance to say goodbye.
Poem #2:
Daddy, last night I saw you,
For the first time in forever it seems,
But then I woke up,
And it was all just a dream.
I keep on forgetting,
That you're not here,
And when I remember,
I can't stop my tears.
I wanted to show you my drawing today,
I drew me, you, and Mommy,
We were at the lake.
I asked my teacher,
If we could send it to you;
But she knows what happened on nine eleven;
And she said she didn't have the address to heaven.
You've been gone for two years now,
And still haven't come home,
Why did you leave me and Mommy all alone?
I looked at the pictures of me and you together,
I remember how you;
Were the greatest daddy ever.
You've been gone a long time now,
And me and Mom still miss you.
How come when you went to heaven,
You didn't take us with you?
You're still gone now,
And I'm still sad,
But now Mommy's better,
So it isn't so bad.
I still wish you,
Could come back and visit,
I shot the winning basket today,
You shouldn't have missed it.
I'm twenty five now dad,
And thought I should say,
I wish you were here,
I'm getting married today.
This is my special day,
The one you always wanted to see,
Hopefully, up there with God,
You have a good seat.
I wish you could walk me down the aisle,
But I know I'll see you again,
In just a little while.
I love you Dad,
And I want you to know,
I still leave the lights on at night,
Just in case you decide to come home.
*****I'm sorry it's so long!! Thanks for reading and helping me!
