Remember September 11th

I wonder ... I wonder, if there in your mind,

Do you still remember that moment behind?
That singular second; that instant of then;
When everything stopped, and the world changed again?

I wonder ... I wonder, if there in your dreams,
Is everything different or still as it seems?
Do you ever pause to consider the Earth?
Do you ever ask what security's worth?

I wonder ... I wonder, if there in your world,
Has empathy, wisdom, or hatred uncurled?
Are you more distrustful, or do you recall:
United we stand, but divided we fall?

Remember, whatever your future may be,
I hope that that it's happy and healthy and free.
Remember to love, and to laugh, and to give.

Remember September 11th, and live.
