Will I See You in September? Poem by Linda Koplovitz

Will I See you in September? (9/11 Tribute)
Will I see you in September on a sunny afternoon?
Don't you remember that you promised that, one evening late in June?
I've waited so long to see you and I was so happy when you said, that
even though you were far away, you'd see me, your letter read.
Your job took you on a journey that college prepared you for.
And in September, I will rush to see you at your door.
Please remember, Mother, I love you even though,
I can't see you till September when my business here is slow.
Please remember, Dad, I love you even though
I can't be with you right now, but soon I'll make a show.
Please remember, Darling, that this business trip won't be long.
I'll be home before you count to ten and sing your favorite song.
Please remember sweetie, that Mommy has to go,
but Daddy will give you your bath, kiss your boo-boo, that you know.
Please remember Darling, I promised till death do us part.
In September, my job will be over and I'll rush to my dear heart.
But September eleventh came and went and I could not visit you.
September eleventh came and, "Mommy, where are you?"
September eleventh came and I haven't heard a thing.
You promised you'd see me in September; I keep looking at your ring.
Mother, Father, Daughter, Son, Sister, Brother, IT IS DONE.
Aunt, Uncle, Husband, Wife- You're the importance of my life.
Cousin, Lover, Fiance, Friend - I can't believe that this is the end.
September eleventh came and went; I won't be seeing you.
God take this pain away from me and tell me what to do.
