Tribute to the lives lost in New York

by Sweetp - Sagittarius

I didn't know I was going to die today.
I went to work without a care.
I didn't say what I needed to say.
I didn't know this would be the day I met the man upstairs.

I didn't know that there was so much hate.
That someone would want so many people to die.
I didn't know that it was my fate.
That today the world would cry.

I didn't know as I entered that building it would soon collapse.
That soon after that I would take my last breath. 
I thought about the ones I loved, as my fingers did the taps.
I prayed to God to overcome death.

I just want to tell my love ones I love you.
Just to look in their eyes one last time.
To tell them I meant to do things I didn't do.
To reassure them everything is going to be fine.

But as I lay dying.
I think about the all the hate.
I begin to start crying..
As I accept my fate.
