We look back and relive the birth of memories of the lives we shared, <br />We look back and hear the laughter and feel the pain and taste the tears, <br />Of our joys, and our sorrows. <br />We look back and know we will always walk in the shadows of yesterday. <br /> <br />We look back and retrace our footsteps <br />Down the paths of hopes and dreams and promises. <br />We remember the good and the bad and the if's and the maybe's; <br />And we sigh and say 'If only we'd known.' <br />We look back and and we wonder about the roads not traveled that led to today. <br /> <br />We look back and know that not all of us would live our lives <br />For better or worse or richer or poorer. <br />We look back at the passing of time <br />And know that an end would come before all of us made it to tomorrow. <br /> <br /> <br />We look back because we will never forget <br />And our hearts will honor forever <br />Who we were, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Who we are, <br />And who we've yet to become. <br /> <br />We look back and see how far we've come, <br />What we've lost, what we've gained, <br />And despite everything <br />And because of everything, <br />We will remain strong <br />And remain standing <br />Together as one <br />Under God...... <br />We will always be united. <br /> <br />11-12-10 <br /> <br />In Honor and Memory of our September 11 Heroes<br /><br />Karen TeichCluster<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/yesterday-today-tomorrow-12/
