With tired arms

They carried the dead

Covered in dust

No words need said

They worked in the piles

Finding comfort, instead

As Brothers in Arms

Side by side, head to head

We watched and we wept

Tucked our children in bed 

While our nation was mourning

In a world filled with dread…

Remembering those who lost their lives on 9-11-2001, and those who tirelessly worked in the days ahead, who later lost theirs. We will never forget.
