Another year
Another special visit
To honor and remember
All who lost their lives...
Including my dearest friend
I remember that day
All too well
As Barbara and I headed to our destination
We wished each other
To have a great day
Her stop was downtown
Mine was uptown
I called her the Downtown girl
She called me the Uptown girl
This Uptown Girl was the lucky one
Oh how I miss my Downtown girl
I think of her every single day
And wonder why Barbara and not me...
I suppose it was destiny!

- Comment from author about the poem: I’m reposting this poem in honor of my dear friend Barbara and all those who lost their lives on that infamous day—09/11/2001. I miss you so much my dear Barbara. Every single day I shed a tear for not having you in my life. On this anniversary day there’ll be more than one tear that shall be shed…for you and for all who lost their lives. R.I.P. 💔

A sensitive write Laura.
a timely write and most fitting .. and whatever happens, you will always be our uptown girl Laura 🌻 🙂 x
An emotional write to say the least Laura. No exaggeration, I can feel your hurt. And this DID bring a few tears to my eyes. ((((HUGS))))
I felt your words as if it were a friend of mine. In this we, the small people of the western world, stand as one embracing each others freedoms. Embracing the heatbreak of loss. I don't think we yet know the extent of what we have lost.
into my favs.
Must be a particularly bad time for you right now, Laura - You have provided a fitting tribute.
And please don't think that my post on orchi's entry diminishes my respect for your personal loss. Take care of yourself.
I do remember this one, do you repost it every year? It’s written with your heart, it must be a very difficult loss for you. You ended this one well. “Destiny” a perplexing thing!
i am sorry for your loss of a dear friend and all the others that died that day,loved the theme up town and downtown girl
