Goodbye

John Michael Nitti

Age 14

 

So this is goodbye,

It’s been way too brief

It’s easy to cry,

For we have so much grief

 

We try to be strong,

Though not easily done

Life isn’t long

With you we had fun

 

And when we look back,

On days you were here

No memory will lack

Fun and great cheer

 

You ran up the stairs,

Of the towers that day

Not the worst of flares

Would get in your way

 

Although unexpected,

You left 9/11

Many were affected,

You went straight to Heaven

 

You’ll surely be missed,

But not forever

We’ll see you soon

This we endeavor

 

No more violence

Our hearts will allow

Because you stood against it

Goodbye for now
