It's been seven years
seven years, too long,
when the world came to a halt
where everything went wrong.
It's been seven years
seven years of crying,
unexpectedly, on this day
up to Heaven, souls went flying.
It's been seven years
seven years of pain,
so many loved ones lost
never to be hugged again.
It's been seven years
seven years of sorrow,
families still holding on
hoping for a better tomorrow.
It's been seven years
where everything went wrong,
when the world came to a halt
seven years, too long.

It's so sad. It's hard to believe that it's been that long. I can only imagine the pain and hurt ppl go through around this time of year.

Wonderful write, a little repeatative but it works for this poem. Thank you for honoring those who fell on that fateful date.

Yes, seven years. And were still suffering the aftermath of that one day. I send my best wishes to everyone who suffered, those families of the victims as well as our soldiers and the innocent civilians who have died since then in Iraq. It's sad what a few madmen were able to do.
